Best Answer

You should weigh 140lbs (ten stones) give or take 10 lbs, that is 130-150 lbs.

Your Body Mass Index (a correlation between your weight /height)should be 20-25.

If you are very fit with muscles you Amy weigh more than this, if you are slight and slim with small hands and feet you may weigh less.

Children's growth charts can be found here: For boys: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/growthcharts/set1clinical/cj41l021.pdf For girls: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/growthcharts/set1clinical/cj41l022.pdf Remember that these are just rough indicators. Consult a doctor if you feel you or your child's weight for height and age is inappropriate.

Body weight is a misleading measure. What is important is body composition. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. In other words, what counts is your percentage of body fat--not your body weight. Furthermore, height also is not relevant. Your age and sex are what matters in terms of average percentage of body fat. Therefore, what you really may be interested in is the average percentage of body fat for a person of your age and sex. The only way to know would be to look at the charts for both sexes and all ages. Be careful, too, about averages. Since two out of three North American adults are too fat, if you compare yourself to their average, you are only comparing yourself to a control group that is too fat. Instead, initially shoot for these percentages. If you are female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% for good health. If you are male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health. See the page link, for the body mass index chart, further down this page, listed under "Related Links."

If you use Body Mass Index as the determining factor for a healthy weight range, then aiming for a score between 18.5 and 24, then the ideal weight for someone 5 foot 6 inches tall is within the weight range of 115 to 150 pounds. The metric equivalent is a 168 cm tall person weighing between 52.3 and 68.2 kilograms.
