GUYS and GALS, do you believe that 125 lbs is big or small for a girl that is 5 foot 7???

Question

I am 18, and i dont exersize much, do you think thats big, small, or just right, please explain, 10 pts after 1 or 2 days for the best explination!

Answer 1

125 lbs is light for a girl thats 5'7! Are you kidding? I'm 5'3 and weigh 122 and have been told i'm thin often enough to believe it. at http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm it says that for a woman who is 5'7 and has a small frame being between 123 and 136 is normal.

Answer 2

I am 5' 7" and could never imagine being 125. I think it's small plus for that height you should be at minimum 128 depending on your body frame. From what I understand a healthy weight for this height is 128-160.

Answer 3

That's small for someone your height. You should try to exercise more, it would add some definition to your body, and help you not to look so lanky! Plus it will pay off as you get older. I'm not talking hours in the gym, but 30 minutes of weight training 2-3 times per week would do a lot!

Answer 4

125 at 5'7" would make you rather slender. Would normally expect someone of that height to be at least 10 pounds heavier. If you are getting little exercise, perhaps that weight will begin to accumulate after you enter into the 20's.



Must also consider the endomorphic body type (which you would qualify for). They can eat (must eat) several times a day without gaining weight.

Answer 5

That is actually a little small; however, nothing to be too concerned about. What you should do is immediately go and thank you parents for giving you that kind of frame.

Something to think about for later in life:

Start exercizing (i know, I know... lol), and keep track of what, and how you eat.

I was, at your age, 5'9" and weighed in at an amazing 119 pounds. It is now years later, and I am back down to 165, after having done a bout at 185. All due to a lifetime of improper eating, no exercise after I got out of the Marine Corps, and not paying attention to me.

Don't let this happen to you.

Answer 6

125 pounds is small. just because u don't exercise doesn't mean you'll weigh a lot. Especially if u eat healthy.Most of my friends say I'm skinny and I weigh 100 pounds. I'm 5'4 and I'm 12 years old. I think that your small by your description and that ur under weight. My mom was 135 pounds when she married my dad and she's 5'4. She was 23. She's was pretty active though.

Answer 7

I have a sister that height & she is slender. She doesnt exercise & she weighs 130-135. So 125 is a bit small. You dont say what size clothes you wear. If you are a size 4 or less, definitely a bit small for that height.

Answer 8

truthfully i think your probably just right. i'm 5 8 and 130lbs. and my husband calls me his trophy wife. i dont exercise at all except maybe going on a walk once in a while. i've been built like this since my freshman year in high school and never been concerned with my weight. people say i'm so skinny but theres skinnier out there, i'm a size 6 and that i believe is ideal.

definitally NEVER let someone tell you that your fat or skinny. hell look at angelina jolie, shes built the same way.

Answer 9

I'm 5'7 and weigh in at 145. I have small bones, but I don't look skinny - I look just right. I've lost 20 lbs. And I would think that if you don't excercise, that would be just about right. Another 5 lbs. won't hurt, so don't worry about gaining. You probably have a fast metabolism - just remember that weighing more doesn't necessarily mean 'fat' - muscle weighs more than fat, so if you excercised and built up your muscle tone, you could gain.

Answer 10

The very last 2 women friends I had replaced into lower than 5. a million replaced into 4 9, and the different replaced into 4 11. i'm particularly effective my niece is lower than 5, and he or she is between the most captivating women in the international. lower than 5 isn't a situation. a guy will like you, for who you're, or he gained't.

Answer 11

I think that weight is just right for your height but it all depends on how you view yourself. Self esteem has a lot to do with your doubts. Just feel proud of who you are and believe in yourself that you are beautiful. At the same time watch your diet, keep regular excercise, love others as they are and believe that you are good person.

Answer 12

That's too thin. The weight range for my height which is 5'4 is 115 to 140. So yours I bet is much higher. You are probably underweight. If this is the way you are without trying then you are probably fine. If you are dieting you need to eat more.

Answer 13

thats a great weight. im 15, 5' 4'' and 137lbs size 6.(and the Dr,'s say i need to work out. i would LOVE to be your weight!! i dont exersize much either but im happy with how i look. and you should be to.

Answer 14

I think it sounds perhaps a little too small. But id does depend some on the size of your frame as well.

Answer 15

I think since you are that tall it is a fine weight. But if you are not comfortable with your weight being like that then loose a few pounds. But i dont think you have to. Good Luck!

Answer 16

If you don't exercise much, most of that is fat not muscle. muscle is 4 times denser than fat, so 125 lb of muscle is skinny where 125 lb of fat is bulkier. you should post a pic so we can get a better idea, you can cut the face out of the pic. that reminds me of a joke. wanna lose 20 lbs of ugly fat? cut off your head.

Answer 17

125 lbs! Ur so skinny! the number may be a large number but because of your height it's the perfect weight. don't worry I'm sure most girls would kill for your body. i know i would.

Answer 18

Well I'm 5'4 and weight 122 pounds and I want to loose weight so I think you're about normal.

Answer 19

well, are you small boned and small framed? you sound fine to me...unless you feel anorexic and never eat, you must be ok. remember, most models are taller than you and weight that same amount and they are doing ok!

Answer 20

small, I am 5'2" and 125 pounds is the right weight for my height

Answer 21

For your size the wieght seems right, but without exercise it could get out of control.

Answer 22

i guess its ok but i dont know your frame my daughter is 5 foot 7 and weighs 116 but shes small framed!

Answer 23

It's Small!

Answer 24

Your BMI is 20, which is just at the low end of what most doctors would consider 'healthy.'

Answer 25

perfect. Allows for curves in all the right places and guys don't gals that starve themselves and look sickly.

Answer 26

Your way to small for your height.

Answer 27

That is too small, you should at least be around 145!

Answer 28

you are the perfect weight. i went to my doctor and he gave me a chart that shows if you need to loose weight gain weight or you are the perfect weight. and the chart says you are fine.

Answer 29

DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF YOU FRAME,i WOULD SAY THAT IT IS ALITTLE SMALL BUT I WOULDN'T START JUST GORGING MYSELF TO GAIN WEIGHT.TRUST ME ON TH IS AGE WILL TAKE CARE OF WEIGHT GAIN JUST BE PATIENT EAT "NORMAL" AND GET REGULAR EXCERCISE AND YOUR BODY WILL WEIGHT WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO.
