Go with BMI tables: The ideal weight for a 5-foot-6-inch woman is 115 to 154 lbs., according to the bmi table. The figures are based on having a bmi between 18.5 and 24.9. Read more at: http://www.Livestrong.Com/article/344059-ideal-weight-for-women-who-are-five-feet-six-inches-tall/.

118 to155 pounds: That will put your bmi within a range of 19 to 25. Note that extremley muscular may weigh more making the bmi over estimate their health risk. Bmi below this range is considered underweight and above is considered overweight. Above 30 meets obesity classification.
