What is my Ideal Weight?
Excess weight is closely tied to many health problems including heart disease, stroke
and diabetes. The following formula will help you calculate your maximum ideal weight.
Women:
For example, a woman 5'6" tall would start with 100lbs and add 5 lbs for every inch
above 5 feet. So, she would add 30 lbs (5lbs *6inches) to 100lbs to get 130 lbs. If she
has a small frame she must subtract 13 lbs. If she has a large frame she can add 13
lbs. So her maximum ideal weight is between 117lbs and 143lbs depending on frame.
Men:
For example, a man 5'10" tall would start with 105lbs and add 6 lbs for every inch above
5 feet. So, he would add 60 lbs (6lbs *10inches) to 105lbs to get 165 lbs. If he has a
small frame he must subtract 16 lbs. If he has a large frame he can add 16 lbs. So his
maximum ideal weight is between 149lbs and 181lbs, depending on frame.
If you weigh more than you calculate for your ideal weight, a healthy weight loss
program may be needed to reduce your risk of the many weight related
diseases. If you have trouble maintaining your ideal weight, you may have a damaged
metabolism.

- For every inch above 5 feet, add 5 lbs.
- +/- 10% for bone structure or muscle mass (fat does not qualify as big boned).
