I was wondering, does anyone know where to find out how much a person should weigh based on their height, and how accurate the statistics are?
Ex - I am 5'0" and I weight 110 lbs, and am 20 years old.
I am told this is a healthy weight, but I have a big butt and thick thighs.

I can truly relate to you. We are the same height and weight. People also tell me that I look fine but when I look in the mirror, all I see are my big thighs and butt.

It is impossible to give a single weight for any given height. Two people who are the same height and weight could have very different body fat percentages if say one of them was incredibly muscular and the other wasnt.

But there at least a goal to shoot for using charts like this: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

Do not pay attention to height/weight charts. They're oversimplifications which is why insurance companies use them. According to a height/weight chart, Governor Arnold is obese and Tom Cruise is overweight. Just worry about body fat percentage.
