how much I should weight?

Question

I weight 140 lbs. but I only have 5" how much i should weight.

Answer 1

Check with web site out all you do is type in your height. I believe your ideal weight is 115-120 lbs.

Answer 2

Here is a simple rule.

60" or five foot=====100 lbs.

then add 5 lbs for every inch over 5 foot.

So at five foot 100 to 110 lbs would be ideal.

When you are young and your metabolism is working well keep your weight to norm for your height. With age your metabolism slows down and you gradually gain weight. For the last 27 years I have gained extra weight at the rate of about 2 or 3 lbs per year. I doesn"t sound like much but it really totals up when its so hard to get rid of.

Answer 3

Answer 4

I was taught in school that at 5 ft. you should weigh 100 lbs. Then add 5 lbs. for every inch after that 5 ft. Now if you're a man you should add 7 lbs. to every inch after 5 ft.

Answer 5

Technically not more than about 125lb, however you might be all muscle or have a large frame. It's really hard to say, I think checking your body fat percentage, would be better and trying to keep it between 20% and 25% would be ideal. HTH : )
