Weight Watcher

How do we know whether our weight are within the healthy range or not, in other words are they ideal? Everyone is unique, so there is no one figure for me to state here as the answer to this question. We need to do some calculation to be able to know our ideal weight.

This is how we determine our ideal weight:

Women Weight Watcher:

The ideal weight for a person who is 5 feet tall is 100 pounds. For each additional inch above 5 feet, add 5 pounds. If you are shorter, calculate backwards, i.e. , minus 5 pounds for each inch less than 5 feet. Then, we need to measure your wrist to classify yourself as having small, medium or large body frame. 6 inches would mean you having medium frame and if this is so for you, the weight you calculated earlier based on your height is your ideal weight. However, if your wrist's length is less than 6 inches, minus 10% from the earlier calculated weight and if it's more than 6 inches, add 10% to the weight.

Men Weight Watcher:

The ideal weight for a person who is 5 feet tall is 106 pounds. For each additional inch above 5 feet, add 6 pounds. If your wrist measures exactly 7 inches, you have a medium body frame and therefore the weight you calculated earlier is your ideal weight. Similarly, if your wrist is smaller than 7 inches, meaning a small frame and you must minus 10% from your calculated weight. On the other hand, if your wrist is larger than 7 inches, you have a large frame and should add 10% to the weight determined earlier.
