Is a 5'11'' girl who weighs 131lbs overweight/average/underweight?

I am sporty and eat well so I know I'm not unhealthy but I don't know if I'm classed as underweight/average/overweight or what not! What do you think? And if you'd like to say what your height and weight is so I don't feel alone go ahead!! Thankyou :)

Underweight, overweight, and on-target weight mean very little anymore. If you're asking from a medically recommended standpoint, then things like BMI aren't very accurate. If you're asking from an aesthetic standpoint, then ignore the weight and just go by what you look like.

You're a tall girl so naturally, you're going to weigh more than the average girl. I'm 5'10" and my natural, maintaining weight on a normal diet is around the 130 mark too. I'm currently 152 with a significant difference in a maintenance diet vs. a bulking diet. But one thing I don't really concern myself with is some kind of "goal weight". I'm going to keep gaining until I get as strong as I'd like to be and get a look that I want. What that means for my body is something much different for a person of a different build than me.

So yeah basically, weight doesn't mean anything. I've seen 120 pound girls that looked normal, and 120 pound girls that looked heavy. It's all in how the weight is distributed, your body build, height, and so on.

I know I just wanted to see what category I would fall into! You're a guy right? I'm proportioned well and because I go the gym often I am defined and happy with the way I look but a lot of people tell me that I'm too thin and look weird. I know, one of my friends is 180lbs and 5'7" but she's really slim.. It's weird :)

Yep, I am indeed a guy.

And I think that you shouldn't let what other people say get you so worked up. I know it sounds cliche and is easier said than done, but you need to focus on what YOU want and like. People will tell you any sort of thing all day long... some will say good things, some will criticize, some will insult, some take interest or be curious, and so on.

If you like the way you look, then rock on with it. But if you have any doubts about yourself deep down that only you know exist or not, then I'd address those instead. I have people tell me not to be a gym rat (too late lol), not to get too muscular, they insult my inspirations (like Arnold Schwarznegger) and don't know why that irritates me, and the list goes on. But it's extremely easy for me to ignore, and actually gives me more motivation to kindly stick it to those people once I get where I want to be and show it can be done.

Well i am your height and weigh about 190 pounds so for a woman i think that your weight is fine for your height. Your BMI is perfect as well so there is nothing to worry about, be confident!
Peace :)

Thankyou! Yeah your weight seems healthy too :) I just get insecure about my height/weight even though I know if you're taller then you'll inevitabley weigh more.

Depends on more on your body fat rather than your overall weight. I would that if you have the physique of an average woman I would consider you to be average.
