You can't go by BMI to figure out what a healthy weight is.

If your friend does heavy physical activity, then she's probably pretty healthy, seeing as muscle is a lot heavier.

I weighed 185 pounds at 5'7, but I also trained hardcore in karate.

yes, but only slightly.
her BMI (body mass index) is 25.5
the highest desired BMI you would want is a 24.9
and she is about 11 pounds over that standard.

depends on if she has a stomach?..
my sister is tall like that, and maybe around that weight, but shes not fat. she is stong for a girl. i;'m the same, but 5'5 145lbs. im not fat, at all, but im in sports and im one of the strongest girls i know. so, if she has a stomach, and doesnt do sports, then she might be. but if shes in sports, skinny, then im sure shes fine!!
