My BMI is lower than 94% of females aged 30-44 in Canada, 96% in The States, and 86% in the world. If everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 70,130,274 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population0

ETA: BMI must not account for muscle, because my poor husband ended up being fatter than the whole world. You wouldn't know it by looking at him. He's rather athletic and he appears much fitter than most other guys his age. Not so, according to the link. :frown:0 -
BMI for me says I'm very overweight........................................then I flex and it recants.

Lower than 74% nationally (USA), higher than 61% globally. If everyone had my bmi it would add 20 million tonnes to the weight of the population.
I think this is interesting BUT …
I could be harmful to some people (especially those dealing with or recovering from an ED). I'm bummed to see I'm "fatter" than 61% of women my age world wide. I shouldn't be, but I am. I even understand statistics, and that I'm within 1 standard deviation of the mean, which means I'm "normal." But still, seeing that, makes me kind of want to quickly drop some pounds. I'm right on the border between healthy and overweight BMI and it doesn't take body fat % into account. My goals shouldn't be changed by this, and as I can think logically about it, they aren't, but my gut, emotional reaction is still not very positive (For anyone interested, my goals are to lose maybe 5-10 more pounds, but mostly just body recomp, lose some fat and build some muscle).
So, like I said, it's interesting. It's kind of fun. But it should not be used as any indication of health or where one "should" be. :flowerforyou:0 -
