if you are a boy, at 5 feet you should weigh 100# and then add 5 pounds for each inch taller so, you should weigh about 155
if you area girl, at 5 feet then you should weigh 95# and add 5 pounds for each inch taller so you should weigh about 150
but because not everyone that is 5'11" weighs 160, there is a 10% +/- fudge factor
so the 155# boy would weigh 139.5-170.5 and the girl would weigh 140-170
good luck

you should lose some....because im a guy, 6'1/2, and weigh 180
that means that if i was youre height i would weigh 160, and being a guy i have more muscle mass, so try to go down to 150

eh, seem's pretty good. i'm a skinny lad about 5'11-6' n i'm 135. mabye 5 pounds would be good, but that really doesn't work. a teen's weight is set until they're around 21.

You are tall. I am 5'10 and the ideal weight for me is 160 so I would say yes you are ideal weight.
