weight in relation to height - Weight Loss Message Board

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.
