BMI (Body Mass Index) is the best way to calculate the best body weight for your height.

You optimal weight at 5'3" is around 120 lbs.

Answer 2

The way I've heard is, 100lbs for 5 feet and 5 lbs for every inch over that. So for 5 ft 3 in that would be 115 lbs.

But I will say that it depends on the person, according to that calculation I should weigh, 145lbs because I'm 5ft 9 in and I weight a good 10 lbs less, and am not underweight. (believe me! LOL)

I think bone structure has alot to do with it. if you are a small bone structure you should weigh less than someone with a larger bone structure. My cousin and I are the same height but different builds, she looks better with more weight than I do.........

We all feel good at a certain weight, find what yours is.........

Good luck to you!

Answer 3

I am 5'4. My goal weight(as established by one of my doctors) would be 145 lbs. (I'm over that, but I'm working on it ^_^). When considering a goal weight, you also have to consider the sex and the age of a person as well as the height,a male and a teen needs more calories than females or adults. If you are planing to diet, check with a doctor for your personal requirements.

Answer 4

My doctors chart states anywhere from 130-150 is a healthy weight. But some if not most would still feel a little pudgy at that weight.

Answer 5

115 lbs

Answer 6

105-140. 120 is probably the best, most healthy weight for you i would guess. as long as it is mostly muscle and not fat.

Answer 7

One to two tons roughly these days
