The most common measurement of ideal body weight is based on the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. You can enter you height and weight and find out what you are suppose to weigh.

The BMI is the ratio of weight over height squared. The American Institute for Cancer Research's guidelines require a person to maintain a BMI of between 18.5 and 25. This is considered to be within ideal body weight range. A BMI between 25 to 27 presents a potential health risk and a BMI above 30 is considered to be a significant health risk.
