Question: Best answer gets 10 pts


Answers: Best answer gets 10 pts

These numbers are averages for women ages 25-59 wearing indoor clothing weighing no more than 3 pounds and shoes with no more than 1" heels. Based on frame size (small, medium, and large frame, in that order), here are the weight ranges:

5'5": 117-130, 127-141, 137-155

5'6": 120-133, 130-144, 140-159

Now, here's how you calculate your frame size:

1. Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body.
2. Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body.
3. Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, then measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure or calipers.
4. The range below is for a woman, medium frame. If your elbow measurement for the height range below is less than the number of inches listed, you are a small frame - if your elbow measurement for that particular height is more than the number of inches listed, your are a large frame.

5'4" - 5'7": 2-3/8" to 2-5/8"

if your asking for weight i cant tell you. everyone is different and what matters is your body fat %. i'd say no more than 17% body fat.

120-150 lbs

I'm 135 lbs and I am 5'5".

im 5'6 and i weigh around 110 pounds. i really depends on your frame size. anywhere from 110 to 130 is a good weight.
