Around 120: Healthy weight may be different for all as genetic, familial and developmental issues affects it. For example the bone structure and size will influence the healthy weight. Are you an athlete or body builder? More important would be your body composition, in other words your fat percentage. This is more predictive of present and future health.

Pediatric BMI: A "healthy" weight is one that will result in a Body Mass Index (BMI) between the 5th and 85th percentile for a child's age and sex. For a 16 year old female, this BMI range is approximately 16.75 to 24.6. At 5'5", this translates roughly into a range of 101 - 148lbs. Please consult with your doctor if you have specific questions regarding your child's weight.
