Standard Weight Charts, Weight Chart for Men, Weight Chart for Women
I believe that too much emphasis is placed on ‘overall’ accepted weight rather than individual weight. Everyone has a unique and different body composition, so what might be a ‘perfect’ weight for one person may be too thin or too heavy for another.
Your frame size should factor into the number on your scale. Are you small, medium, large, or extra large when it comes to that department? This usually refers to the bone size of an individual (your frame). In fact, you may even be ‘in between’ these set categories. So allow yourself some lead way here. Click here if you’d like to determine your frame size.
Our Standard Weight Charts for Men & for Women are based on the individual being dressed in light clothing (3-5 pounds) without shoes.
Charts are based on individuals 21 years and older. Keep in mind, age plays a huge factor in our weight. One of my doctors once told me that it’s about impossible for a middle-aged person to expect to weigh what they weighed in their younger days. In his experience, middle-aged dieters were very hard on their self in trying to reach weights on standard weight charts, rather than focusing on being healthy. A few pounds up isn’t going to kill your image, and if you feel healthier at a higher weight, it might very well be the best weight for you.
Muscle weighs more than fat. This is one of the chief reasons, as well as bone mass, that we have a chart for men, and one for women. Men are equipped with more muscle than women, so naturally they are going to weigh more.
Current trends and celebrities should not influence your weight. An ultra-thin superstar might be a walking time bomb living on cotton balls soaked in liquid gelatin. Remember – just because someone is popular doesn’t mean they are fit! Admire what is around you, but take care of YOU first and foremost.
This chart is not for pregnant or nursing women. If you are pregnant or nursing, you should seek your doctor’s advice before attempting to go on a diet. Also, use common sense for these issues. For example, if a physician instructs you to go on a very stringent diet while nursing, a red warning light should go off in your head. Ask questions! You’re certainly paying for them. Vitamin recommendations should be made, a nutritionist should be recommended, or your could wind up being so worn down from improper nutrition that you end up in the hospital. So please, exercise your good sense. There are great doctors and there are also some really big stinkers out there.
