There is a measure of whether a person is under weight, normal or over weight called Body Mass Index or BMI. It is calculated as body weight divided by the square of the height. Under weight is a BMI of less than 18.5. Normal is between 18.5 and 25, overweight is between 25 and 30 and obese is over 30. For someone who is 5 feet tall a "normal" BMI would be a weight between 94 pounds and 128 pounds.
