normal weight?

what is the average weight of an 18 year old female? i am 5'6 and around 145 lbs. i know every body is different and models snort coke to stay anorexic but when i hear about 5'11 120 lb. models swishing down the catwalk i feel so fat. people i know say i could stand to lose 10-15 pounds. most of my weight goes to my thighs...

It's tough to put an exact number because our body frames are very different. The medical field tends to put weight in 8-10 pound ranges based upon small, medium and large body frames.

Likely, for a height of 5'6" and being female and age 18, you would probably be best off somewhere in the 130-139 pound range, that's just a rough guess of mine. A lot has to do with how you feel, how much energy you have at a specific weight. That's something only you will know about. Your friends sound like they are giving you good advice.

And, don't compare yourself to professional female models, they are not as appealing to men as you may be led to believe.
people carry weight different.Ive know some woman who were 200 lbs and very sexy.some at 150 who arent proportioned well wont look good.But the bottom line how do you feel about yourself?

And forget the runway models---Ive never figured out why a bunch of gay guys, who mostly run the fashion industry,are given the power to determine what a sexy woman should look like.

If you are happy with yourself then say TO HELL with everybody else and be yourself.
if u really want proof that your fine calculate your bmi(body mass indexd) its what doctors use too see if your too skinny, normal, or overweight. your bmi is 23.4, and the normal range is 18.5-24.9, so you are normal and your not fat. smile =)
too many people r worried about wat there weight is, If u look good in a tight pair of jeans and guys whistle at u and blow u kisses, ur fine. If they dont do that, then hit the treadmill.
NO IDEA. BUT W/E BELIEVE IN URSELF. NORMAL BUT WORRYING.
CALM DOWN THUNDERTHIGS AND PUT DOWN THE CHICKEN LEG. LAST TO THE STALL IS FATTEST OF THEM ALL.
Well said. I know you don't like me slackjaw, but I gotta say that was right on the money.

To the poster: skinny chicks suck. Curves kick ass!
a little meat on a woman is alway hot
