Answers:
hi, ive just calculated your bmi (body mass index)

which is 22!.3 which makes you normal weight

normal weight is between 18!.5 and 24!.9

hope this helped



so to sum up, u are just the right weight for your height Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably just smidge overweight!. Not by much!. 10 pounds and you would probably look great!.

BUT!.!.!.I should say you're probably just a tiny bit overweight to where it is more about your looks than about health!.

personally, unless your really unhappy with your appearance, I wouldn't worry at that height/weight ratioWww@Answer-Health@Com

Perfectly normal weight!. As long as the body fat percentage does not exceed 29% it's fine in terms of health!. (17%-29% is healthy body fat for a female)!.

As for people saying it's overweight, they are talking out of their a@@!. You can check with a doctor and they will confirm that's perfectly normal weight for a person of 5ft6!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

based on several calculation you are a little bit underweight

try those online weight calculator
or better ask your doctor
anyway if you are healthy and loves to do exercises, your weight would not be so much importantWww@Answer-Health@Com

Likely, neither!. Sounds very good!.

While certain things must be considered, such as age, muscle build (muscles are heavy) and the cup size of the bra (breasts are also heavy), to me it sounds as though you are perfectly healthy!. You could probably stand to gain a pound or two, even!. A little bit of healthy curve is very attractive! Starving skeleton-women who pass out on the runway from starvation diets are not!.

Take care of yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're just fine!. Don't let someone tell you otherwise!.
That's a healthy weight!. There are more important things anyway!. I'm sure you are a beautiful person inside and out!. Unless a doctor tells you to lose weight don't change a thing!. Even then get a 2nd opinion!.
