What is considered to be the optimal weight for a woman who's 5'7"?

Let her decide: Her best weight is whatever looks and feels right to her and allows her to keep up with peers in fitness activities.The "ideal weight" charts are entertainment and subscience; the olympic track team is all "underweight", an ultra-fit football linebacker "obese", and the "overweight" now have the best health outcomes. Look at people, not numbers. Cheers.
