http://www!.nhlbisupport!.com/bmi/ will help you calculate your Body Mass Index and choose healthy goals!. (check the BMI tables)

start by going for 158lbs!. I like to use http://www!.sparkpeople!.com/ to track my diet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on your body type!. I'm 5' 3" and I'm overweight!. Usually a person of my height would want to be between 110 and 115 but since my body type is of a full figured Greek girl, I'm shooting for 125!. If you're athletic and that tall, I'd have to say at least 140 to 150!. Because you're taller your body fat will spread more so you can weigh more but look thin (lucky)!. Here's an example!. Tyra Banks is 5' 9" and around her most current years of modeling she weighed 160!. She looks thin but weighs more!.
I think a girl of your height should be happy at 160!. Good luck!.
And Tyra didn't look like the traditional anorexic model!. She looked perfect and beautiful!.
125 is WAAAAAYY too low for an almost adult, tall woman!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would shoot for 130-135!. I'm 5'4", I weigh 120 lbs, & I'm on the skinnier side of the healthy spectrum!.

Try not to shoot for a number, though - go for what looks healthy!. If your collarbones start sticking out awkwardly or you can't fill out a dress/flowy shirt very well, it's a hint that you went overboard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have no idea, but a good idea would be to check your BMI index, and if it's in a healthy range, then you are just right for your age and height!.
