                      Healthy Weight Chart
There are two ways to think about weight: One is how it influences your looks. Another is how it
influences your health. A healthy weight meets three conditions:

1. Your weight falls within the range on the table below:
                        

Height

Weight without clothes:

19-34 years

35 years and over

5'0"

97-128 108-138
5'2" 104-137 115-148
5'4" 111-146 122-157
5'6" 118-155 130-167
5'8" 125-164 138-178
5'10" 132-174 146-188
6'0" 140-184 155-199
6'2" 148-195 164-210
6'4" 156-205 173-222

2. Your waist measure is smaller than your hip measure. Too much fat around the waist is believed to be a greater health risk than excess fat in the hips and thighs.

3. Your doctor has advised you not to gain or lose weight because of medical problem.

If your weight is not “healthy”, set reasonable weight goals and try for long-term success through better eating habits and more exercise.
