    140 pounds is considered to be the average healthy weight for a woman that is 5'8". However, trying to drop 20 pounds in a couple of months is not healthy. I'd encourage her to aim for a more realistic target. Maybe 10 pounds now and another ten before Thanksgiving.

    its normal.. but it may take a little longer than by the end of the summer to lose that much weight. just keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesnt start any eating disorders.

    It's normal, but I hate it when perfect women want to look like telephone poles. She probably won't change her thinking, but tell her she's perfect the way she is. MAYBE that will help.
