If you are 5 Foot, six inches, your weight should be 120 - 133 if you are small framed, 130 - 144 if you are medium framed, and 140 - 159 if you are large framed. So, really you are on the lower end of the scale and yes your weight is just fine. Now stop reading so many beauty magazines and worrying about your weight. :) You're fine just the way you are.

5 and a smidge?
120 is a smidge high unless you have big bones or large breasts.
If you're average frame B, then there is room to go down.
If you're 5 1/2 feet (5'6") then you are about fine or maybe a tad under!

That's about average. Get down to 105 and you'll have the perfect weight; but from 106-125, you'll still have guys checking you out.

Dont ever go by weight, simply because it can be very deceiving. You see, muscle weighs more than fat so it depends on your body fat percentage and your lean body mass.
Hope that helps,
