This is a good weight for you at your height. All too often , you will see girls that are tall and they want to weight 120 lbs, which is ridiculous. . .They don't even have a shape and look like a pencil. I work with a girl that looks that way and I call her Q-tip. Your weight is just fine. . .

normal

i was thinking in my head that u should be in the 140s (based on some ppl i knew), turns out im right (well according to this site: http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/pub... depends though on how much muscle you have... DONT freak, ur still in a normal range:) try this: http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/

for a male it is underweight slightly and a female overweight sightly

There's actually a formula to calculate this. If I'm correct you're at the near the upper limit for being considered normal weight. Meaning you're almost borderline overweight.

A BMI of 27.8 for men and 27.3 for women is the cutoff point for obesity used in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II). The National Academy of Sciences' diet and health report suggests the following normal BMI ranges:
