Average rule of thumb...kind of old school is: 100lbs at 5ft tall plus 5lbs for every inch.  Average is an ambiguous word.  The average size for an American woman is around size 14.  That would be about 40lbs over weight for my 5ft 2in medium frame.  You really should talk to your doctor, your personal genetics, medical issues, age, etc have a lot to do with it.  My doc tells me I should weigh between 115 and 119.  I feel best around 117.

There are different body types, so it varies a bit.  Pay attention to where you look and feel your best when you are in the range of 110 to 120.  It will likely be in that range.
