Ideal Body Weight Charts
There is a great deal of focus these days on finding your “ideal weight”. Your ideal weight is actually a number within a range of numbers. The high and low weights of the ranges varies with height, frame build and age. The weight chart below is a GENERAL chart to help you establish some goals. It is by no means a replacement for visiting your doctor and talking with him about your ideal weight. The weight chart below is from the Weight Watcher’s website. You can also find more specific weight charts at this website.
The weights are listed in pounds.
