Based on standard charts, it would be for 5' 90- 110 and for 5'2" 99- 121.
You calculate this by using 100# for the first 5 feet, than 5 pounds per inch for each inch over five feet. Then + or - 10% to get the range.
This is only for women theres a different scale for men.

THANKS for sharing!! I'm showing this to my mother who says that i looked anorexic when I weighed 98lbs!! Now I'm at the high end ranging between 116-119 and I desperately am working to get back to 98

Re: Petite ladies-5 ft-5ft 2
Well, it all depends on your fram size too, google it for different ways to determine, like which of you fingers to thumb you can wrap around your wrist. So if you have a larger frame, that may have been to thin for you.

I'm very tiny framed!! I can wrap all of my fingers to my thumb around my wrist (with room to spare)....I didn't know that all people couldn't do that

WW says for 5'2" the normal rage is between 109-131
It also depends on your age, not just your height!

Yeah, there are actually many many different standard ht/ wt charts. Which one is most correct is probably anyone's guess.
This is the formula we use at work (I'm a dietitian). It may just be because its a quick calculation, you can do it from memory and dont need to carry a chart around.
The only time we take age into account is in the elderly (over 75)
