Your BMI (body mass index) places you in the 52nd percentile, and since 50 is average, you are about average now, but today the average American is a little over weight.
So, your ideal healthy weight should be 127lbs, based on your height, weight, and age.
Hope this answers your question http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht... -
Your height and weight are near the 75th percentile, giving you a body mass index of 22.75, which is also near the 75th percentile for your age. So you are normal by statistical standards. The 50th percentile BMI for your age is 21. To achieve that you would need to weigh 130 lbs.

120 to 130

118 - 148 is a healthy weight
155 - 179 is overweight
186 - 235 is obese
I think 133 would be a very ideal weight, so you only have 8 pounds to lose, good luck!! 2007 world almanac -
You are a perfect weight for your height. You should really be looking at your BMI. it should be under 25 and 141 pounds is very good. You dont wanna be to skinny.

Check your BMI body mass index.
It%26#039;s (your weight in kg) , divided by your height (in metre) square.
say -for example- your weight is 50kg and your height is 1.5m
then bmi =50/ (1.5 x 1.5)
if the result is below 18.5 you%26#039;re underweight, 18.6 -23 you%26#039;re ideal, %26gt;23 its getting overweight. the BMI is an accurate indicator as it differs from everyone, according to their height.
In terms of weight loss, it all boils down to wise diet choices like low-calorie and low-fat food plus exercises, there%26#039;s no other way to be honest. -
What are you doing to make you a better person inside?
Image is only important to people who refuse to see you first. -
im 5%26#039;6 and weigh 153 pounds. thats a liitle overwieght but your weight is perfect

I am 5%26#039;6%26quot; also. Although you are in our appropriate body range, I think that I look best in the 120-129 range. Anything over that and the cellulite starts to show and the muffin tops start blooming. Keep it under control now while you are young otherwise, it will just get worse as time goes on and the children come!
Burn more calories than you consume. That is the key. Good luck! -
probably around 120-130
-
you aren%26#039;t too far off girl =135 to140 is the ideal by the height chart
-
125-130

I heard about a rule of thumb- 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height, then an additional 5 pounds per inch above 5 feet... which would put you at about 130... but I still think that%26#039;s a little on the thin side.
I%26#039;m 5%26#039;3%26quot; and 130, size 8, and looking good!!... So I%26#039;d say that at 5%26#039;6, 141, and especially where you%26#039;re only 17, I%26#039;d bet you look pretty dang good, too!
Remember, women need a little fat and cushion, otherwise we look like Calista Flockhart... raisins-on-a-pine-board is not the sexiest look.
