Can adjust for large: frame. The "average" ideal weight for a female, 5'9" is 145-150 pounds. A small frame range is 126-142 lbs; medium frame 139-150 lbs; large frame 149-170 lbs. This is reasonable and if attained, these goals will be associated with healthy weight. An accepted frame measurement is between the two elbow bones, flexed with fingers pointing up: > 2 5/8"=large. Sorry for lbs, not kg's!
