What’s Your Ideal Weight?

January 16th 2007 04:42
This is an easy way to estimate your healthy body weight. With all the New Years’ resolution ways to diet, I thought this would be useful.

For women- Start with a 100 pounds for 5 feet and 5 pounds for every inch over 5 feet. For instance, say you were 5’5. Well calculate 100 pounds for 5ft tall and then 5 pounds for every inch over, which would be 25. Your ideal weight is 125 lbs.

For men, start with 106 pounds for 5 feet and add 6 pounds for every inch over 5 feet.

Medicinal Nature
LOL- I thought I was really over weight until I read that report from a doctor. I was shocked to learn that even if I gained 10 more pounds only then would be flirting with the 'over-weight' line. It is weird what some people consider to be 'severely over weight' and what is considered to be a 'healthy weight'. With all the anorexic models/actresses today it seems that anything in comparison to them is obese- it is sad, this is what our youth is subjected to. BUT in reality, people with in the healthy weight lines are doing great and those below it are considered sickly.

Just a little medical insight for you to consider... sorry I rambled- I just woke up and figured I'd start my day the orble way.
