What is the ideal weight for a 5ft 6in girl?

Answer 1

120-130 depends on how old you are though

Answer 2

A healthy weight for that height would be anywhere from 118-155. Of course weight is not always the best measurement, since it makes no disctinction between fat and muscle mass. For example, you could be 150 pounds and have high muscle/low body fat and be healthier than someone who is 140 pounds and has high body fat/low muscle mass. The best measurement for health purposes is your percentage of body fat, which can be measured by a variety of tools, including electrical impedence scales that are now sold for around $50 in many stores.
Of course weight/fat are only one aspect of health -- you can be skinny and still have poor cardiovascular fitness.

For more info you could try checking out the Center for Disease Control, or other reputable websites.

Answer 3

I'm 5' 9" and I weigh 125 pounds. But I work out and eat right. I think as long as you do both those things, your weight is what it is. Because 5" is 2 inches above average for women. So, I would say around 117-122 would be normal.

Answer 4

Hon listen to me, Nobody in Yahoo knows your body type. Like are you large boned or delicate, No one knows how muscular you are (muscle weights more than fat). In fact Nobody here knows YOU. As long as you are eating healthy getting plenty of exercise and you physician is happy with your proportions than you shouldn't worry what others think or feel. Don't fall into that trap we all do from time to time. Believe me You are probably beautiful just the way you are, If there is some one out there who is telling you different, do yourself a favor a drop them. You don't need that negativity in your life....
