Being obese or overweight is not good for the general well-being of a person. People who are overweight also tend to have weight related medical problems. In such cases, weight loss is able to cure most of the problems. To determine the ideal weight of a person, it is the body mass index (BMI) method, which is used. It is also known as the Quetelet index. Body mass index is a statistical measure of body weight, which is based on a person's weight and height.

This method is popular over other methods, because it is easy to calculate and almost accurate. In order to be able to calculate the BMI, you will have to know your weight and height. The weight chart for women by age and height will prove to be of use to you.

Finding Frame Size

When we look at different height and weight charts, we see that the charts mention different frame sizes, like small, medium and large. This is when most of us wonder, what is our frame size and how are we supposed to find the right frame size. Extend your right hand in front of you. Bend the hand at the elbow, such that the wrist is facing your body and arm is parallel to your body. Using a measuring tape, measure the distance between the two prominent bones of the elbow. Now check the measurement in the table given below. This table gives the frame size for medium frame only. For small frames, the elbow measurement will be lesser than given in the table and for the large frames, it will naturally be more.

Height (in feet and inches)	Elbow Measurement (in pounds)
4'10" - 4'11"	2-¼" to 2-½"
5'0" - 5'3"	2-¼" to 2-½"
5'4" - 5'7"	2-3⁄8" to 2-5⁄8"
5'8" - 5'11"	2-3⁄8" to 2-5⁄8"
6'0"	2-½" to 2-¾"

At this point, I would like to bring it to your notice, that it is best not to image your ideal weight to be unrealistically low and try to reach the "ideal" weight. This urge to lose weight and come down to the ideal weight often causes women to fall ill. When you refer to these various weight and height conversion charts, you should remember, that there are chances, that your weight may vary a little as per your height and frame. Sometimes, you may have a small structure, yet weigh more than the average, as mentioned in the weight chart for women by age and height, but you may not look fat. This may be due to your bone weight. It is important to be fit and healthy rather than being perfect on the weighing scale and being ill. You will have to maintain a healthy weight, which will protect you against obesity related illnesses. Being under weight is also not the best thing to be. Therefore, you will have to take measures to gain some weight if you weigh too less. Along with trying to get to the ideal weight, you will have to make sure, your body mass index falls within the ideal range. For your information, see the BMI chart below.

Body Mass Index	In Women
Ideal	18.5 - 25%
Overweight	25.1 - 29.9%
Obese	Above 30%

To maintain the right weight to height ratio, you will have to take some measures. The two important of the measures is to have a right diet and a workout plan. Remember, a balanced and nutritious diet is the key. Do not gain weight by eating all the unhealthy fast food available. If you weigh in the optimum range, it means that your intake of food is in the right amount. However, that does not mean, you should not take precautions. You will have to take measures to maintain the optimum height weight proportion that you have to stay healthy. A regular exercise regime will not only ensure you are able to shed off the extra weight, but it will also keep your vital organs in good shape and protect you from various illnesses.
