I can't find the calculator. All I can see is it just talking about the calculator but I can't find where it is to input my info.0

Guess I'm moving to Tonga.0

Your numbers
Obesity Index
22bmi
BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is
National
Above average
You have a higher BMI than 76% of females aged 15-29 in your country (India)
I blame it on poverty and malnutrition
Global
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 52% of females aged 15-29 in the world
Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 24,442,402 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
You're most like someone from Guinea*0 -
I just put in my original weight and it didn't even register on the chart! I was heavier than 100% of women in my country and in the world. Which seems pretty accurate since I was always the largest person in the room no matter where I was. Now even after a 130 pound weight loss, I'm still among the top .5% of women in the world for weight. and top 8%for the USA and top 4% for the country I'm living in now. Really puts things in perspective.

Update: I posted this to my Facebook page just to see if anyone would calculate their measurements for themselves; a few hours later one of my friends from school who happens to be an exchange student from the UK messaged me and said:
"That calculator that you posted this morning really sucked...but I felt way better about myself when I altered it to say I was from the US."

my bmi is 23 and says I have a bmi lower than 57% of females 30-44. Im more like females in france. im 29 but rounded up to 30, female, 5ft 5 , uk, 138lbs0

That actually makes me feel pretty good, lol. 22 BMI... You have a lower BMI than 87% of females aged 30-44 in your country, you have a lower BMI than 62% of females aged 30-44 in the world.
Of course I still think BMI doesn't mean anything.0 -
Well, as someone who's been morbidly obese her entire adult life, this neither depresses nor surprises me.
It says I have a higher bmi than 100% of the world's females in my age group.
It says I'm from Tonga. I like this, though.0 -

That's hilarious.0 -
Its interesting to see how these work culturally,
it said mine was 19.1 and that I was below the country average for men my age by 98%
I am most like someone from Bhutan
either way, I still have a far way to go.0 -
How do you have a far way to go with a BMI of 19? That's borderline underweight.0
-
I'm below 88% of women in the USA and below 65% of the world globally and most like someone from Bhutan. "If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 22,346,254 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population."
I would have put myself somewhere in the 50-60% range for the USA, with no clue on the global. I had to look up Bhutan, and now I really want to visit. It looks cool.0 -

Wow! That is without doubt the most horrendous reading that I ever did read.0

well , either there's a glitch in the website or they don't have just calculations for my country. First I'm a bmi "0" , and then trying to get a sense of perfect weight for my country I'd have to be less than 35 kg for a 5'2'' frame. Honestly, that's insane and false in my opinion.0

You have a lower BMI than 63% of females aged 30-44 in your country0

hmm , im not 35 kg , Im about 66 and I'm 162 cm0

Interesting.
Used to be: 39 BMI --> 93% higher BMI than other women my age in the US --> 100% higher BMI than the rest of the world -->Likened to Tonga
add 179,953,858 tonnes
Now (well, pre-pregnancy): 28 BMI --> 57% LOWER than other women my age in the US --> 79% higher BMI than the rest of the world -->Likened to Bolivia
add 56,018,359 tonnes
Holy crap that's a huge difference from before.0
