If i am now 16 years old and i am 5'4". what is a healthy and appropriate weight for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : On bone structure. Basically you are average height so a weight of 100 lbs (petite bones and very lean) to 130 pounds will be healthy and appropriate. More importantly is how you feel about yourself because it is not the "number" that is all that important. It is how you look and feel about you.
