Height/Weight Chart (US Females)

All people are made up differently, even those that are the same height. A weight that might look over weight on one person can look just right or even under weight on another. There’s the frame size and muscle mass that is unique from individual to individual. There is no one size fits all, and that’s why there is a range of weight (low -to- high) for each height category.

That’s not to say that because you’re 5 feet 4 inches and 150 pounds that you are not over weight. You could be a smaller frame person and find yourself carrying extra fat at that weight. You may want to target the lower range number for your height.

You may have noticed, according to our height and weight chart, that the average female in the United States is over weight even by the high range.
