[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I subscribe to the 5’ is 100lbs then add 5lbs per inch rule. So 5’4” ideal weight is 120. But that rule is my personal maximum. I’m 5’2.5” and weigh 107, so if I gained anything past 112 is when I’d get serious about watching my weight. [/quote]

I thought it was 105 for the first 5', then 5 lbs an inch. So, 140 at 5'7, which I am and everyone tells me I'm soooo thin/ eat a cheeseburger.[/quote]

This is the first time I have ever heard this extremely disordered take on what a woman should weigh. I am 5-2 and weigh 115-120 depending on the week. Guess I better get on a diet! [/quote]

I'm 5' and would have to starve myself or be critically ill to weigh 100-105 lbs, but I still manage to be a very fit size 2 at 115 lbs. That said, I do not think it's crazy to assume a lot of women between 5'0 and 5'4 are very small framed and should be aiming for the lower end of the weight range more in line with the 5'/100 lb rule. Nor is it crazy to make adjustments based on your specific frame and musculature. [/quote]

I'm also 5' and weigh 115 and I'm a size 2. I'm short but not small framed (yay me...not).

But, I could also lose 5 lbs or so and be completely healthy.

I think if you have a small frame, the 100 lbs for 5' makes sense.[/quote]
