There's a range: It depends on age and body build, too. Muscular people are fine to weigh more. Most adults are slimmer in their 20's, and heavier in their 40's onward. A ballpark number for men can be 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of height, plus 6 pounds for each additional inch above 5 feet. In this case, 106 + 60 = 166 pounds. A man in his 30's can be 155-170 pounds or thereabouts.

how to have healthy weight loss?i am 186cm and 72kg male.hope to be 68kg...

Accepted Answer

Nutrition & exercise: The good news is that you're young & not too far from your goal, just 4kgs. Unfortunately, there is no magic (combination of) vitamin or dietary supplement that will miraculously melt your fat away despite all the advertising. Instead, stick to the basics: healthy nutrition & regular physical activity, something that you can enjoy eating & doing for rest of your life. Don't aim for temporary loss.

Question 9

is going from 79 pounds to 105 in five months a healthy weight gain? and for someone five one what would a healthy weight be at age 22 not pregnant

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's fine: It sounds completely healthy to me.  In fact, weighing 79 pounds if you are 5'1" would definitely be underweight.  We often estimate ideal weight for women by saying you should weight 100 pounds at 5 feet, and then add 5 pounds per inch, so 105 pounds for 5'1" would be perfect.  I hope you gained the 20+ pounds through eating more of good, healthy food.
