    It would depend on her frame size and body composition. The short answer is, there is no one ideal. Set a goal near the top of the 'healthy' weight range (according to the Met Life tables anywhere from 123 to 163, depending on frame size) and then see how you look and feel once you're there.

    I'm 5'7 and around 130lbs. I am now focusing on reducing bodyfat.
