    That site you linked is super awesome! As a nutrition major, I find this sort of thing fascinating! It puts things in perspective for me, I'm here because I like seeing what I eat, not really to lose any weight, so this puts my "fat days" into perspective a bit, and it shows me some information I didn't know about the world's nutrition! Thanks!

    Guys, seriously, these numbers are no measure of your worth and i very much doubt you are bigger or heavier than 100% of the whole world, LMAO. That's what it told me too and i laughed. Maybe i'm just immune to all the medical tools out there telling me i'm the size of an island or whatever but this one is just a bit of fun for me. It's interesting but Christ, it's nothing to live by! Have you ever heard of or known of someone who weighs more than you and lives in your country or on the same planet as you? If you do, awesome, you can't say you're heavier than them. If you don't, you just haven't met them yet the way i see it, lol.
    Seriously, don't let this trigger you or hurt you, the lady with the beautiful green hair didn't post this to upset anyone. Besides, have you Googled Tonga yet!? It's a beautiful place, i'm all for getting my fat *kitten* over there, snacking on exotic fruit all day and lying in the sun with my own damn kind. Seems like a nice place to work on one's self-esteem.
    Seriously, your weight, BMI, clothing size and whatever other numbers people want to pull out of their behinds to try and determine how much you fail at life are all NO WAY IN HELL an indication of how wonderful, awesome, inspiring, beautiful, fantastic, brave or strong you are. That goes for those with lower numbers too. So your BMI is textbook perfect, your weight is spot-on, you look awesome in anything you wear and you've never known what it is to feel fat, you're STILL no better than us apparent Tongians (Tongans? Tonganese? Whatever).
    I bring joy, love, laughter, comfort and kindness to all the people i love and who love me at my starting weight, current weight and whatever weight i'll ever, ever be. I'll STILL be the same girl, only healthier and that's all we're changing, lovelies. Your weight, not your worth...if the two go hand-in-hand and threads like this have the ability to bring one down without the other then you need to have a heart-to-heart with your inner Tongonian 'cause no number in this whole world is reflective of the awesomeness that is you.

    Thank you for that. You are, clearly, pretty freakin' AWESOME! And may I add, wise beyond your years.

    My BMI is lower than 86% of US females in my age range in the US and lower than 62% world wide. I am apparently typical of a woman from China - which is amusing since I LOVE Chinese food!

    and if everyone in the world had the same BMI as me, it would remove 3,831,773 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population - that's a whopping lot!

    Well that's enough to make me cry and a little wrong. They say my start BMI was higher than 100% of people my weight in the world & 96 in the US. Current is better lower than 58% in US, but higher than 73% in world...

    Mine's the same way. Unfortunately, even my goal weight (also determined by my nutritionist) is considered overweight according to the BMI and still has me considerably above the "global average", due to the amount of LBM I have (large, dense frame + lots of muscle). Reason #5,642 why I wholeheartedly believe the BMI is total garbage for individuals.

    That said, that little tool is interesting for what it is.
