Answer 1

You are just within the healthy weight range.

no 170 would be good fo that hight. I'm about that tall and 170 is the max the military would allow so 140 is ok

Answer 3

Try this for your BMI:

if works out against your height and weight whether you are at the right BMI.

If you are over 25 on the scale then you are possibly overweight. However, if you are athletic then don't go by this because muscles are heavy.

Answer 9

I would help, but i don't have a clue when it comes to weight in lbs lol, but my guess a healthy weight for about 5'3 is around 9 stone i might not be right...but you don't sound overweight to me, but the taller you are the more you weigh because you have bigger bones

Hope i helped

Answer 10

Yes you are 10 stone and it is overweight for that height...

Answer 11

You BMI is 24.8 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

So you are technically in the normal category, though you might want to lose some weight, because you are at risk of becoming overweight.

Hope this helps!

Answer 12

Borderline, but if you are muscular or large framed it might be ideal for you. Get your body fat percentage tested.
