There are a number of answers to this question. See all of them below:
(a) The right weight for you is where your body mass index (BMI) is 24 or below. After reading this you can either use this super easy calculator or look this up yourself in the Basic Tables #1 which you can download for free here.
Note: Keep in mind that all these charts are meant to be used as a general guideline and definitely will not cater to unique persons, such as large built persons.
(b) A simple thing people use which gives a rough idea is to take your height in cm and take out the 1 in the front. So for example if your height is 165 cm then your healthy weight should be 65 kilos. Naturally this works with the metric system, so if you use pounds and feet just convert them and give it a go.
Note: The same thing goes. This is not the weight at which you will have a six pack, nor does this work for unique bodies. Its a general idea.
(c) Lastly, my own self-test to you. Look at yourself in the mirror and see if you like what you see. If you are totally happy with yourself (honestly!) then there is nothing other people can say.
As a secondary check for more sensitive people. Do you feel yourself heavy? We should all feel rather light, easy to jump and no problem to run a block or roll around, etc. So if you find yourself with a short breath or exhausted after almost no activity then you are out of shape.
