BMI: The most common and accepted way for calculating your recommended weight is the bmi, or body mass index. Here is a link for you to check out.: http://www.Heartfoundation.Org.Au/healthy-eating/pages/bmi-calculator.Aspx. For a 5'3" height your range would be between 105lb to 143lb. The idea that there is an optimal diet based on your blood type is out there, but there isn't much science to it.

104-127, yes ; no: The ideal weight for a 5 ft 3 in. Woman is 104-127 lbs (47-58 kg). There is a book called the blood type diet by peter d'adamo nd but I do not believe most of the information in it is valid- see http://www.Earthsave.Org/health/bloodtyp.Htm for a good critique. For a good diet to lose weight ; optimize health see http://bit.Ly/1dhw9ht also see http://huff.To/19ygs8y ; http://bit.Ly/1btzrp7.
