I'm not sure how to figure out how much I should weigh. My doctor said 135-165 but this site says 99-142 (around there.) I'm 5'7", what do you guys think? *Ray*Ray*

um i think NOT 99 pounds! that would be way too little. probably around 140...

I think it might be this: If someone 5'4 and 120 pounds, then gain 40 to 160, it wouldn't be that good. But if they came down to 160 from a much higher number, they would have already improved their health a lot and would do great staying there. Just a guess...

your docs right coz if u were less than 120 you would be underweight.

i'd say between 130-150 is sort of between there, and seems reasonable, and healthy.
