I'm 27 female and 5'8 and 240lbs. what is a healthy weight for me to be?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
