What is my ideal weight?

Question

I'm 21, 5'5" and weighing in at 106 right now... I am too thin.. right?

What should I weigh for my age and height?

Answer 1

115-125 is a good range.

I'm the same height and I felt great when I was 120 lbs. That's my ideal weight.

Answer 2

I am 5'2" and I weigh 104, so I say that you should probably be 110-114 pounds.

Answer 3

Height in Shoes | Small Frame | Medium Frame | Large Frame

5'5" | 117 to 130 lb | 127 to 141 lb | 137 to 155 lb

From height and weight tables of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, 1983. The ideal weight given in these tables are for ages 25 to 59. The ideal weight assumes you are wearing shoes with 1-inch heels and indoor clothing weighing 3 pounds.  

Hope this helps

Answer 4

YES, right, you are too thin.  Generally, with the '5 lbs to every inch' rule, you'd only be healthy if you weighed that much at 5'0"-5'1".
