My sister is 5'7" and 135 pounds, and she thinks she is fat. I don't think she is. Is that a healthy weight?

my grandma said that is a very good weight for someone that tall.

actually she is not right saying that she is fat. 135 is the best weight that a person of 5 7 could have so don't worry. my dad went to medical school for 10 years and is a licensed doctor and said she is totally healthy. Make sure she is eathing right though and not skipping meals or upchucking to stay at that weight. if you want some more info look up weight calculator on bmi calculations on the weba and get some more points od view. hope this helps.

Your sister is actually the perfect weight. The experts say about 100 lbs for the first 5 ft for an average female and 5lbs for each inch after that = 100+35=135
If she works out or is large framed (the tall and athletic body type) she may even be a little light.

The definition of "healthy weight" depends on the person.
Use a BMI calculator (body mass index) like the one at this page:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bmi-calculator/NU00597
To determine what weight range she should be at. Where you are in the range depends on what you feel comfortable at. Some find that at a lower weight they feel healthier and have a more happy attitude than those who are at a heavier weight.
Either way healthy weight should be determined by the person and or his/her doctors.
Hope this helps!

She's healthy if she is 16-19.

Yes! That's the normal weight, not overweight but not underweight either. Tell her she's NOT fat!
