    When I started this weight loss journey I had a BMI of 51, am now down to 34. Not good but moving in the right direction.

    I got Eritrea. Had to Google it to know where it was. I suck at geography.

    Dunno about this. I used it when I was heavier and it said I was fatter than 100% of females in the world. But on the upside, I guess that means I WIN!

    Yeah, the program rounds all the numbers so you get some skewed results sometimes.

    It says I'm fatter than 100% of the women in my age group in the world. I always secretly suspected I was the fattest girl on the planet...

    I'm fatter than 76% of women in the world.
    I'm thinner than 59% of women in the US.

    I'm like someone from Grenada.

    You have a lower BMI than 87% of females aged 30-44 in your country & You have a lower BMI than 61% of females aged 30-44 in the world. Most like women my age in Madagascar.

    Sadly when I was 143 a couple years ago I was down with Ethiopia.

    Same here. I've also changed a few percentage points in comparison to other females in the US.

    Your numbers
    Obesity Index
    26bmi
    BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is
    National
    Above average
    You have a higher BMI than 59% of females aged 15-29 in your country
    Global
    Above average
    You have a higher BMI than 81% of females aged 15-29 in the world


    Did you know?
    If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 25,369,147 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population

    I am heavier than 100% of all women my age range in the world according to this website.

    It lacks heavily. Large populations of the planet are of Asian descent, small builds all around. It also doesn't include diet. Many people all around the world are malnourished. It said that if I was 120lbs I would still be heavier than 57% of the female population in my age range in the whole world. I don't think I could function at 120lbs. I am 5'1" with wide set shoulders and hips. I'm planning to build muscle.

    This just seems like a trigger for those who are on the verge of developing an eating disorder.

    I must add that from my start weight of 262lbs, since dropping 40lbs I have dropped 8pts on the BMI Index.

    I'm most like someone my age and height from Uganda according to that with a BMI of 23 and 60% lighter than most women my age (38) . Hmmm. I don't know .. I was this weight last year with a bodyfat percentage of 30%, now it's 21%. Big difference. That test doesn't take your bodyfat % into account. I wager a lot of African women my age have a much lower BF % than me.
