BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE AND GETTING BETTER.
3 MORE LBS AND ALGERIA.
TARGET WEIGHT IS MOROCCO.

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.0 -
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.0

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......0 -

I weigh like someone from Tonga and have a higher BMI than 100% of the world even after losing over 56 pounds. I hate stuff like this. It just makes me feel ugly and that even if I get to my goal weight, I'll still be bigger than 78% of the world.0

Me too. Apparently I have to get to 118 pounds to be on the high end of "normal". Eff that. This thing made me sad.0 -

Right. Let me get right on that. Shall I lose some bone and muscle mass too while I'm at it? That's the only way my BMI will ever be where they want me to be.0 -
NOT ALL OF YOU CAN HAVE A HIGHER BMI THAN 100% OF PEOPLE!!!! -Same math as those stupid CAT tests in grammar school- no one can score higher than 99%.0

I know it's mathematically impossible but the very idea that you are fatter than most of the world on average is enough to bring me down, even when I lose the weight I want to, I'll still be considered big.0 -
At my "biggest" I was from DR Congo, now I'm Ethiopia. Bad bad bad. My coworker is Sri Lanka, my mother is also Ethiopia.0
