Today, it is widely accepted that a BMI of 23 is healthy. BMI measurements are calculated uing height and weight.
A BMI of 23, given a 62 inch stature, would be 126 pounds.
A BMI of 25 to 27 used to be recommended (and may be a more attainable goal for those who are extremely overweight). This would be a range of 136 to 147 pounds. Keep in mind, this range is considered overweight by today's standards.
Hope this helps!
