    This is so cool! I'm from the States. I have a lower BMI than 84% of females aged 30-44 in my country and a lower BMI than 56% of females aged 30-44 in the world. If everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 8,109,014 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population. I'm most like someone from Pakistan*.

    * Compared with other females aged 30-44 in Pakistan.

    You have a lower BMI than 95% of females aged 45-59 in your country. You have a lower BMI than 81% of females aged 45-59 in the world. If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 46,797,868 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population. You're most like someone from Nepal.

    That's me now. Here's how I would have stacked up the year I graduated from high school:

    You have a lower BMI than 87% of females aged 15-29 in your country. You have a lower BMI than 58% of females aged 15-29 in the world. If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 33,126,838 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population. You're most like someone from Kazakhstan.

    Dang. I thought of myself as chubby in those days. Maybe I was for the time.

    apparently we are both from kazakhstan but I would add tons to the world. See... BMI = CONSISTENT FAIL

    this was really helpful, i moved the numbers around from my current weight to my ideal weight and compared it to the folks from my country of origina and was very suprised to find that my ideal weight was still heavier than 50% of the people in my homeland. this does not make sense becuase the average person where im from is somewhat larger than my ideal weight. im from Ghana originally btw. :smile:

    According to the site, everyone needs to have a BMI of 174.8969125 in order to not add any weight to the population. Took me a while to get the BMI to run to zero tons (tonnes) added.

    Well that made me want to kill myself.

    No kidding, that was seriously depressing. I am heavier that 88% of Americans and 99% of females 30-44 around the world. FML.

    And to think I was happy about losing 2 inches at the hips. I think I will go purge my lunch now, thanks. :sad:

    I got Tonga...and that's all I'm gonna say about that

    I knew I'd get somewhere Polynesian or Micronesian.

    But you can't be the fattest person in the world at 294, so there's an issue with their high range interpolation. I may be in the 99th percentile, but I'm not above 100% of the people in the world or U.S. (or even my home town!).

    Quite an issue. I'm 5'3" and weigh 222, and I'm apparently the fattest person in the world? False. I know fatter.

    I'm not sure why all women 15-29 are grouped together... that puts me over the average.. however, as soon as i turn 30, I will be below average.

    Based on my starting weight in May 2012, I had a BMI of 30, I had a higher BMI than 65% of males 45-59 in Canada and was higher than 85% in the world. And I most represented Kuwait.

    As of today, down 24 lbs, my BMI is now 26, my BMI is lower than 61% of those same males in Canada however my BMI is still higher than 65% of males 45-59 on a world basis. And I now mostly resemble Fiji.

    So overall I have made good progress, am moving down the scale, and would definitley rather be in Fiji than Kuwait......
