Ideal Body Weight  

This page will give you an idea of what your ideal body weight should be. Just check your height (in feet and inches) against your gender and your bodies 'frame size'. There are weight numbers that are considered 'normal' or 'healthy' levels for men and women. This is your ideal body weight and the number range that you should fall into. This will give you an idea of how much weight you need to lose.

Warning about ideal weight

Remember that this is just considered the average based on a certain number of people judged by survey. You may not fall into these categories. Everyone is different and has a different build, so don't get caught up in the idea that you must fall into these ranges. If it seems reasonable to do it, by all means, try for these target weight goals. But don't ever force yourself to reach a weight that seems very unlikely. It may not be healthy for you to be at that weight. So use your best judgement and if you have serious questions, consult a medical professional.
