What's a good weight for a girl who is 5'5"?

[AmyHelen]

I weigh 119 pounds but still feel a little chubby, what weight do you think is healthy/ideal?

[Anonymous]

i think you should actually gain weight. muscle weight. you can do some weight lifting, but try not doing too much running. that kinda thins you out. you're tall and can tone up well. you're far from chubby. I'm 5'2 and weigh more than u. lots more, haha, and I'm in the chubby category :)

[sassysenorita]

That's a little skinny. Maybe you should try gaining some weight because that's borderline unhealthy.I am two inches shorter than you and I weigh 120. I am def not fat. Go online and look up a BMI chart. That chart will tell you the perfect weight for ur height.

[Similipoulette]

Actually you're probably right on your ideal weight. You have calculate you BMI to make sure you don't become too skinny if you decide to lose some weight.

[gotc147]

As far as what your body looks like, don't focus on the number the scale tells you, pay more attention to what your body looks like.

Very muscular people often weight far more than their "ideal" weight, but they're definitly not fat.

[palek]

A good rule of thumb is, one pound for every foot of height. Therefore, your ideal weight is 5.5 pounds. It may be difficult attaining this goal, and if so, why not stay at 119 pounds as it looks very good on you. ; - )

A woman should not worry of such things, the right man will not care about weight, the right man will only care about whether you love him back. Sure it may be tough to find a guy like this, but its a lot easier then stressing out over whether or not your too "chubby", which I highly doubt because you only weigh 119! So I suggest confidence in yourself because I'm sure you look just fine the way you are.

[Gone_But_Not_Lost]

Actually the scientifically determined ideal weight is a rather flawed scale. You sound fine to me. Don't worry about it.

[Gone_But_Not_Lost]

I'm checking back on some of my old answers. Doing a follow up.

Was this answer at all helpful to you?

[AmyHelen]

Yes it was, thank you for answering.

[Gone_But_Not_Lost]

I'm glad I could help.

[ArtistBboy]

Are you kidding me? The average male can use you as a dumbell for one arm =/

You have nothing to worry about and shouldnt worry about your weight.

[katiegal]

OMG I'm also 5'5' as I know lol..and I weight more than u,im near 125 lol.U are normal! My goeal is 119-116,ur weight so you don't havw to worry,u are just fine :)

[Littletad]

I think your a pretty good weight, especially for that height.

[helms_girl]

Ten cheers for peer confirmation!

Ugh...take it to Ana...

I am so sick of insecure girls.

If you are that unsure about your body go to a dietition or read online.

Don't go looking for approval...it's sad.

[AmyHelen]

No one asked you to read my question, if you don't like the question, don't answer.

[helms_girl]

You asked the whole website opinion in posting it.

I gave mine.

It sounds like you are being very unhealthy and crying out for attention.

If you aren't seeking attention, you need to see a professional to lose weight in a safe way.

If you don't like my answer, give me a disagree arrow.

[AmyHelen]

No I said my weight and what I thought about it. I asked other people their healthy/ideal weight for my height. I have used both the bmi and hamwe scales but with research have found neither to be accurate. I do not have the money or time to see a professional. Your own questions also seem fairly insecure about how to be attractive to guys. If anything my weight concerns my health while you just have the superficial aim of appealing to men.

[helms_girl]

Dietitions are free if perscribed by a family doctor.

A family doctor will not perscribe a dietition if you are not too overweight or underweight.

Therefore, if you go to a professional (as you should) and he or she doesn't send you to a dietition then you are fine. If you checked your BMI as you've said, then you would know also that you are fine. So you are obviously not doing this for health purposes, as you said that you merely "FEEL chubby". Yeah, I am a little superficial. Anything else?

[AmyHelen]

I live in the UK

Dietitions are not free. I have brought up the issue with my family doctor. I just got my bmi tested then I was sent on my way. Like I said before bmi is not entirely accurate, its a very old scale hence why I choose to ask other people instead. I'd prefer not to make this into a argument, it's very clear we don't share the same opinion so let's argee to disagree.

[Mesonfielde]

Guys don't want to date a skeleton. And therefore, you are fine.

[Evi-Baba]

Uh, I think you're a bit too small rather than chubby lol

[Anonymous]

119 is a fine weight for your height.

Your body mass index is 19.8. Normal weight is 18.5-24.9.

Ultimately, you should feel comfortable with your body, within reason. Be healthy and know there is someone who likes you for you!

[rickjames155]

you kidding me? lol wheres the chub on that fine body...

[Anonymous]

119 at 5'5" is really skinny. A few extra pounds won't hurt you. It is definitely NOT chubby. Do not lose any more weight; it is unhealthy.

[Anonymous]

that's on the thin side for 5'5". The "healthy range" for a 5'5" woman is 111 pounds to 150 pounds...and healthy doesn't mean fat.

[Anonymous]

somewhere from 111-150, here's a link to where I got this info link

[Anonymous]

im 5"6 and 130 and trust me, you are NOT CHUBBY AT ALL! if anything, you're underweight

[emzy-89]

I think the same thing. if anything you're underweight, you're definitely not fat

[girlygirl2]

um

thats what I weigh

haha

but I used to weigh 100 pounds

thats what I think is a perfect body=]

[xox_sugarlips_xox]

Most of my friends and I are that size. Some bigger some smaller. Your a wonderful size, be happy with it.

[mormongirlmichl]

You are a-OK! don't worry about it! :)

[The-Dude-Next-Door]

[Anonymous]

You are fine. Just about the size I like in girls.

[Anonymous]
