    Oh boy, that was a nice boost to my morning! Usually I avoid comparing myself to others, but here goes....

    21 BMI

    I have a lower BMI than 91% of females aged 30-44 in my country (USA)

    I have a lower BMI than 70% of females aged 30-44 in the world

    I am most like someone from India

    If everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 33,308,964 tonnes fromthe total weight of the world's population (holy crap!!!!)

    I don't think it's very accurate.

    At 37 years old and 5' 9" and 246 pounds it says that I am fatter than 100% of the people in the world. Pretty far off I think.

    I'm most like someone from China, and I'm below average both nationally (lower than 85% of the U.S. population and globally (lower than 58% of the global population).

    And while I'm very close to my ideal body fat percentage and fitness level, I'm still not where I should be, so that says a LOT about what's going on in the world.

    Take the results lightly everyone. BMI isn't that great of a scale. I'm considered overweight. If you look at my pics, I'm definitely not. Also, it throws in kids into the mix. 15-29... really?

    BMI also doesn't account for muscle.

    BMI 25

    You have a lower BMI than 69% of males aged 15-29 in your country (United States)

    You have a higher BMI than 76% of males aged 15-29 in the world

    You're most like someone from Chile.

    From US...female aged 39 with a BMI of 21, which is right in the middle of "normal"...I have a lower BMI than 90% of US women aged 30-44 and a lower BMI than 68% of women globally. That's sad...I didn't even realize the obesity epidemic is that bad. I'm most like a woman from India but YUCK! I HATE Indian food! lol They shoulda said Italy!! lol

    To quote the website:

    "You have a higher BMI than 100% of females aged 30-44 in the world"

    Some how I don't think that's actually the case. Good thing I have a sense of humour!

    My aunt is Filipeno and she is lean, mean machine. Over 40 and does P90x and takes boot camp classes where she flips truck tires that are almost as tall as she is. She's only 5'1.She is more muscular then some people my age and I strive to get there too. She is a badass!
