Calculate your Ideal Body Weight for Women
The ideal body weight for a woman who is exactly 5 feet tall is 100 pounds. For every inch above 5 feet, just add five pounds. If you are shorter than 5 feet tall, subtract five pounds for every inch you measure below 5 feet.

If your wrist measures exactly 6 inches, you have a medium frame and the weight number you calculated above, does not need to be adjusted. If your wrist measures less than 6 inches, subtract 10 percent from your ideal weight. If your wrist measures more than 6 inches, add 10 percent to your ideal weight.

Note: If you are exactly 5 feet or 6 feet tall, put a 0 in the inches box. The result will be wrong if you leave the inches box empty. This calculator will work for heights between 4 feet and 6 feet 11 inches. |
