Depends on body type: There is no magic or healthy weight for a given height. By eating well balanced meals and by exercising regularly, you will achieve a lean body mass that is right for you. To be healthy, it is recommended to do cardiovascular activity 30 mins/day, 4 or 5x/wk. Add resistance exercises to improve tone. Never aim to lose more than 2 pounds per week. Check with ur doctorfor personalized recommendation.

Ideal Weight: There are many different calculations to determine ideal Body weight with varying degrees of validity. It is suggested that your Mody Mass Index be between 18.5 and 24.5. Using a body Mass Index of 21 (considered a healthy wt) the ideal weight for women 5 ft tall is 108 lbs. The general calculation for women is Ideal Body Weight (in kilograms) = 49 kg + 1.7 kg for each inch over 5 feet
