According to the CDC, BMI is a good indicator of weight, for most people. For a woman at 5 foot 10, 310 pounds is a BMI of 44.5, which is considered obese.

It's important to understand that BMI is not perfect.
BMI is not a perfect way of measuring body fatness, but it does a pretty good job for most people. Athletes, or particularly muscular people will find that BMI is not specific enough to meet their needs, and it's probably worth looking into something like body fat percentage. BMI just gives us an easy way to quickly understand the ratio between someones height and someones weight, it does not take into account how much fat you are carrying versus muscle.
