What is the average weight for a female 5'4"?

Question

Okay, so I've always thought I was at a pretty normal weight.

I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds. I wear a size 4.

But recently, someone I know made a comment about how someone 5'4" isn't supposed to weigh more then 120 pounds.

Is this true? And even if it's not, should I lose weight?

Honestly with only a 10 pound difference, I wouldn't even worry about it. I'm 5'8" and I weigh 155 and I'm supposed to be 135-140. I don't look my weight (I'm very athletically built) so many people are surprised by my weight. I excercise a lot and so I have more muscle than fat. And as everyone knows muscle weighs more than fat.

Also you're under 18 and you're still growing so your hormones are going to fluctuate your body weight up and down, up and down, etc.

And honestly at a size 4 I would tell the world to screw itself, and the person that made that comment is more than likely not very secure with themselves and has to bring people down to make themselves feel better. As long as you're happy with how you look and its healthy then I say rock what you've got! ;P

It all depends on how you are built.  The weight on the scale doesn't matter all that much.  Most of us are carrying around 10 lbs of water each day any ways.  Also, if you have a lot of muscle mass this can account for a larger weight than 120.  Don't focus on the number, focus on being healthy and having self confidence.  I'm not sure about sizes.  I'm considered skinny, am 130 lbs, 5'6, and wear a size 7.  If I were 120 or even 125 people would accuse me of being anorexic.  It's all about how it is packaged.

I am 5'4 and weigh 130 pounds too. The ideal weight is between 120-150 lbs. The range is due to body shape and amount of muscle because muscle weighs more than fat. I know I don't need to lose weight, so neither should you. A size 4 is pretty small. Don't listen to whoever told you this. They clearly don't know what they're talking about.

I voted B, but I actually think 120-130 is right.

Definitely not!  the ideal weight for 5'4" would probably be around 115-135.  But that doesn't mean someone 5'4" and 110 is underweight or 140 is overweight.  Everybody's body is different. Who ever said that is a dipshit. Haha.  A size 4 is perfect if you're happy with yourself.

Ideally someone 5ft should weigh 100 lbs and add 5 lbs for every added inch. 120lbs is the "norm" but trust me 130 is very good. Haha I wish I was a 4, ur good the way you are. No need to lose any weight

I'm 5'4 and I weigh 102lbs. And I think I'm way too skinny! I'm actually trying to gain weight, I'd like to weigh around 110-115. But it's really hard to gain weight for me.I just recently started to lose the weight. I was at 110, but for some reason I'm losing it. And it sucks big time.

if your happy with your weight then don't loose it

howvever

without using a math problem

and without using your BMI, or bone density

a good rule of tumb

it 100lbs for a 5'0ft tall average build

and 5lbs extra for every inch

so if your a average bone sized girl, 120 is average

but not necissarily true

I wouldn't suggest loosing weight, a size 5 is alwas a decent size

also age plays a part in the calculations

Everyone's a little different - I'm 5'4" also but I weigh 107 pounds with solid muscle on my legs because of track. 125 is just about perfect for 5'4" - I wouldn't change a thing!
