    Well that made me want to kill myself.

    This!!

    My GOD!

    Well, I'm most like the ladies in Demark apparently...

    "You have less body fat than 71% of females aged 30-44 in your country" - Well this is a positive BUT
    "You have more body fat than 51% of females aged 30-44 in the world" - Great. Just great.... and the nail in the coffin award goes too...
    "If everyone in the world had the same body fat as you, it would add 4,337,147 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population"

    Now I think I need to go a drown my sorrows in a goddamn workout!!

    Just been on the BBC website this morning and saw an item I thought I would share.

    Turns out I have below average fat for my country but above average globally.

    It told me that either -
    1) I need to move to Micronesia - where I'd fit right in
    or
    2) I need to keep on with this healthy eating stuff to fit in where I am

    Micronesia looks a bit on the hot side for my taste, though swimming about in those warm blue seas is tempting.....

    Being declared fatter than 96% of women in my age group is a bit of a wake-up call.

    THE GOOD NEWS is that when I put in my starting weight I found I was fatter than the average for Tonga - in fact I was fatter than 100% of women in my age group. :huh: That's a peculiar statistic.....

    That was fun!

    I am most like someone from the Phillipines.

    I have less fat than 76% of women in Australia aged 30 - 44 and 54% less than women in the rest of the world aged 30 - 44.

    If everyone had the same body fat percentage as me it would remove 5,001,767 tonnes of body fat from the world.

    And I was having a 'fat' day today.....

    Thanks,

    Donna

    Tonga, apparently. IDK, though, I'm not convinced that at 210lbs I'm bigger than 100% of women in my age bracket in my country. I have many a friend bigger than me.

    This can't be right, can it?
    I know loads of people much bigger than myself but it calculated me as having "more body fat than 100% of males aged 45-59 in the world" which by my thinking would make me the fattest 53 year old on the planet and at 19 stone 10 lbs. I don't think so, lol...

    I have to ask (as someone who is also 100% fatter than everyone else) the people who are over 100lb overweight why does that result surprise you?

    Don't forget that the program uses rounding, so 99.5% or higher is rounded to 100%.
