What Is The Ideal Weight For A Woman Of Height 5ft 4.5 In?

Hi, I am 28 years old cute girl, I am 5ft 4.5in, I look really slim with curves in the right places, flat stomach, and all but I weigh a lot. I weigh 156pounds, its really strange cos people think I weigh far less than that. I already look slim and I don't know if I should embark on a weight loss program? what do you think should be my ideal weight?

According to your BMI (body mass index), you are very slightly overweight. A weight of 146 would put you in the so-called normal range. This is just a general calculation for people; if you are bigger boned or have more developed muscles than the average, you are probably fine at 156, especially since you already look slim. At this point, you don't need to get too concerned on starting a weight loss program. Just maintain good eating habits and regular exercise. Hope this helps.
