How much should I weigh?

Me beside a mirror Asked by deborah_p 8 months ago, 4 answers.

Im 5'4" and im 16 years old, I weigh 150, I've gained like sooo much weight over the summer and I still havent got it off, what is my ideal weight for my hight? I have started drinking water a lot, and I've tried to exercise, even though I've been...

slacking this wk, and last wk, but when I went to weigh myself I gained 2pnds! my mom said that it may just be water weight and that it should drop, my brother told me that im losing fat and gaining muscle, but I think that they are just trying to make me feel better, I hate being soo freaking fat! all of my friends are little sticks and we cant even share clothes, it makes me so mad, does any body have any advice, and also can you plez tell me what my ideal weight should be.

Hi,
According to the medical BMI index you only need to lose abot 4 or 5 lbs to put you within your healthy weight range.

You can calculate this using the following link:

Remember, lose this amount of weight slowly over a few weeks or you will just put it back on again.

You also need to do regular exercise to tone up your body.

Finally, regarding your friends that are so thin, it is very possible that their weight is at an unhealthy level. If you had their weights and heights you could see this for yourself by using the above link.

Take things easy.

your current BMI is 25.7...overweight.
you healthy range is 107.6lb - 144.8lb
so you only need to lose 5.2lb to be into healthy range.
not much.
