How Much Should We Weigh?

Visual appearance and body weight can often be deceptive when we are trying to compare ourselves with other people. We all come in different sizes and shapes, most of which are genetically determined. Although it is possible to change the body to a certain extend by losing fat or building muscles, you cannot do a complete makeover. As a result, many self-conscious people feel inadequate because of repeated failures at transforming themselves into the shape they are just not meant to be. For example, if you are a woman, you are “supposed” to be sleek, slender and slim; if a man, the society wants you to look bulky, muscular and trim. In accordance with the statistics, about 1/3 of all Americans are dissatisfied with their appearance and weight.

Indeed, how much SHOULD we weigh? Although only nature truly knows the best weight for your body, there are general guidelines to estimate the midpoint of a healthy weight range (plus or minus 10 percent, depending on whether you have a large or small bone structure).

Women: 100 pounds for the first five feet of height plus 5 pounds per inch thereafter. For example, if you are a woman who is five feet and six inches tall, your healthy weight should be about 100+30 =130 pounds.

Men: 106 pounds for the first five feet of height plus 6 pounds per inch thereafter. If you are a man of five feet and ten inches, your approximate ideal weight would be 106+60=166 pounds.

Therefore, if you are struggling to weigh significantly less than the above estimates, think again! Pay attention to the genetic design for your body, and try not to struggle to get too light. The best weight goal is to be fit and healthy rather than weak, undernourished, and skinny.
