133-136 #: Assuming you are of normal body build for a woman, your "ideal body weight" is between 133 and 136 lbs.

You decide: There is all kinds of nonsense written about "ideal weight". If you can run up three flights of stairs, do the sports you enjoy, and look like you want to look, you are at your ideal weight. As long as you're fit, your "ideal weight" is whatever seems right to you.
