A member asked:

What is a good weight for somone who is 5'10? i want to look thin but be healthy....how can i lose weight. how many calories?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About 150 pounds: It often depends on one's body type (big-boned or not), and amount of muscle. Muscles have weight and breasts have weight, but women usually consider those as "good weight".
