For a quick estimate of your weight status, use the following rule of thumb.

  • Allow 100 pounds for your first 5 feet
  • Add 5 pounds for every inch above 5 feet
  • Or, deduct 5 pounds for every inch under 5 feet.
  • To estimate your healthy weight range add 10 percent for the upper weight limit of the range, and deduct 10 percent for the lower limit of the range.

Example

You are 5 feet 4 inches tall.
Allow 100 pounds for your first 5 feet.
Then add 5 pounds X 4 = 20 pounds.
Your individual healthy weight is 100 + 20 = 120 pounds.

To estimate your healthy weight range, add and deduct 10 percent (12 pounds). This makes your range: 108-132 pounds.
