How much should I weigh at 5'4 to be healthy?

I searched for it on internet but couldn't find a clean answer.

Looking at the healthy BMI (Body Mass Index), for someone who is 23 years of age and is 5’4, the perfect weight lies around 128 pounds/ 58KG. I know I shouldn’t ask a woman this question, but out of curiosity and the sake of this question, how much do you weigh?

[nsyprkr]

Hahaha, ofcourse you can ask. :) I weigh 60 kg now. Unfortunately my body fat is in lower part of my body. When i weighed 50 kg, my upper body was extremely thin.

Good weight! Just so you know, if you’re looking to train your lower body, try to gain muscle too instead of only losing weight, because otherwise you’d get underweight.

[nsyprkr]

Thank you. You are right about training body ! :)

You could go by BMI, but it doesn't account for how much of your mass is muscle or fat. By BMI standard, I am obese, despite visible abdominal muscles.

Moral of the story: Go by body measuring body fat %, not weight/height.

My mom says a good way to tell is getting your height in meters and subtracting 0,1 meter for your ideal weight in kg. So for me, I’m 1,65 so my ideal weight is 55 kg.

[nsyprkr]

She's literally right, I think.

When I was 5"3 I was told my ideal weight was 120 which was how much I weighed.

[ttyoungjesus]

120 is scary to me lol

[JustRollTheDice]

Probably anywhere from 50kg-65kg depends on how you're built

[ttyoungjesus]

Its somewhere around 135 but That weight sounds so unnatural for that height lol

[nsyprkr]

Actually i weigh 133. But i gained 23 pounds.:(
135 can not be ideal i think.

[ttyoungjesus]

Maybe I'm just used to super healthy women being in my family but I feel like that weight is unnaturally slim.

[nsyprkr]

Really :) I thought you meant it so thick.

[ttyoungjesus]

Oh no lol thick women are great lol who cares about the BMI it's whatever weight you enjoy.😊

OP, I'm seeing variation as well. I know what you mean.

[Jayjoy]

small= weight right?

[WhereAmI]

@Jayjoy Small is the size of your frame. So if your a husky guy, your probably a large frame. A thinner frame might be small. Medium is average.

[Jayjoy]

ok damn im under weight i guess

[WhereAmI]

@Jayjoy You must be reallllly tall. lol

[Jayjoy]

im 187 not sure in American way

[Jayjoy]

187cm*

[InformMe87]

It’s all about how you pack on the weight. I could a 180 lbs of fat or muscle.

[anon4us]

As a female under 165 I think is relatively healthy but last I heard it might be lower then that.

[Whatthefluff]

I'd say 115-140 pounds

[CarpetDenim]

110 - 145 lbs
