A member asked:
My friend is 5'5 and weighs 286 pounds. (fat, not muscle) she isn't worried about her weight, but how is her current health based on her weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: There are many more measures of health than just weight. Blood pressure, cholesterol, strength, level of indurance...But clearly your friend is obese, and if her age is like yours, she'll likely gain more as she ages. You can encourage her to loose weight and get fit, but she has to motivate herself.
