Question 1

what is a healthy weight for a 5'8'' female?

Accepted Answer

There is a range: YEARS ago, when I was in medical school, we were taught that ideal weight was 100# for a woman 5 feet in height; then add 5 pounds per inch, so for 5'8"--140 pounds. This is pretty close. But you need to make allowances for muscularity, fitness, genetically bigger bones, etc., so I would say a range of 135 to 150 pounds would be ideal. You could also aim for 22-26% body fat. Good wishes:)

Question 10

i'm 27 female and 5'8 and 240lbs. what is a healthy weight for me to be?

Accepted Answer

Estimate: Using your body mass index, your ideal weight would be around 140-150 pounds. That is a substantial weight loss goal, but will have significant long term benefits for you. You will likely need ongoing coaching and help to lose that amount of weight and keep it off.  Consider finding a well educated trainer who knows nutrition or a trainer and a nutritionist to help you make the lifestyle changes.
