This site just blew my mind and made me feel disgusting! I am most likely from the United States (bingo!) and If everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would add 39,638,984 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population!!!
If I wanted to have the exact average BMI for a woman on this planet I should weigh 134. Maybe I should change my goal from 140 to 134!0 -
This is pretty cool. My BMI is lower than 90% of the women in my age group in the US, and 69% of the women in my age group in the world. It told me that I'm most like someone from India. Guess where I'm from?0

interesting!!!
says i have a lower BMI of 83% of females in my country

very interesting!!0 -
I'm most like someone from Tonga, which is apparently the fattest place in the world if I'm reading right. . I have a higher BMI than 89% of females aged 15-29 in your country (USA). Global and I have a higher BMI than 100% of females aged 15-29 in the world. Wow, way to make me feel like a fattie, even though I have already lost over 56 pounds. *sigh* >.<
Reaching my goal weight, I'd be like someone from Mexico. I'd have a lower BMI than 62% of females aged 15-29 in your country and I'd still have a higher BMI than 78% of females aged 15-29 in the world. So even if I reach my goal weight, I'd be fat compared to everyone else. That's sad. I hate stuff like this because it makes me feel horrible but yet I can't stop myself from looking at it. 0 -
