Hey, I'm 5'7" and I'm just wondering does anyone know how much someone that tall should weigh?I don't want to say how much I weigh though. Could you go by my height?

Go to Webmd.com
http://www.webmd.com/
Do the Diet Assessment BMI Calculator halfway down the page, an interactive tool measures BMI body mass index; just plug in your height, current weight and goal weight, then click Get My BMI. Enter Age and Gender, then click Calculate and Continue. It analyzes and tells you where you fall and where goal falls, likeliness of achievement with amount of time.

heres the link for calculator alone: copy and paste if needed
http://www.webmd.com/content/tools/1/calc_bmi.htm

Example:
With 5' 7" weight at 135 goal of 125=21.14 BMI is in 'normal' range (see below) goal is 19.58 BMI.

BMI Categories:
Underweight BMI <18.5
Overweight BMI 25-29.9
Normal weight BMI 18.5-24.9
Obese BMI 30 or greater

Limitations of the BMI:
The BMI measurement is a reliable indicator of your total body fat. The score you get is valid for most people over age 18 with the following exceptions:
It may overestimate body fat in athletes and those people with a muscular build

It may underestimate body fat in older people and others who have lost muscle

This is a bmi calculator, http://www.revolutio... keep in mind that it is a very vague thing that doesnt take into account things like body structure, muscle mass etc, but it will give you a jumping off point...

I like my weight. I'm 54 and I'm 5'8" and weigh 115. If you just had a baby, you may still have extra weight, but it will go away soon. I think that if you're 5'7", anywhere from 110 to 130 is good. But, really, it's how you feel about your weight that counts. Just eat healthy and exercize and hope for the best.

for your height you should weigh between 130-164. If this is how much you weigh, you are at a healthy normal weight.
