    I'm most like someone from the Maldives. Unfortunately, that's where the comparison ends - it's still raining in London! *wail*

    BTW, OP - what country did you match up with? You didn't say.

    LOL, I'm most like someone from Etheopia! (sp)

    I have less body fat than 96% of women in my age group in my country.

    BTW, it's because I'm older. imo. I'll check it for a younger woman after dinner. :P

    So fun!

    I did both the US and Sweden since I am dual citizen.

    US: 82% lower BMI than women in my age group.
    SWEDEN: 61% lower BMI than women in my age group.

    I am like someone in Congo or Italy.
