Global Fat Scale

Just wanted to share this "Global Fat Scale" from BBC. It calculates your BMI, then tells you which country your health/BMI is closest to.

At my current, pre-sleeve weight, my height/weight/BMI is most similar to the country of Tonga. =( Hopefully I'll be changing to a slimmer country soon!

That's interesting! As of right now, I apparently belong in Barbados. And here I've been told many, many times that the United States is the absolute fattest country (it's still one of the worst, don't get me wrong) when there are several above us, and most of those are in the Caribbean! At my target goal, I would belong in Jordan.

Looks like you'll have some company in Tonga sr since that's where I belong too apparently lol. That's apparently the most obese place to be in the nation- surpassing even the US. That's a scary thought that this thing is saying it's where I belong!

Tonga it is. I did find this factoid a bit disturbing: :blink:

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 341,712,475 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population

So I started in Tonga...currently in the Bahamas. Ultimate goal is to be living in Norway!!!!

Real cute app....Thnks for sharing.

I got Tonga too. :/

Very cool

I started out having a BMI higher than 94 percent of the women in the US ages 30 to 44.

I currently have a BMI lower than 57 percent of the women in the US ages 30 to 44.

I started in Tonga and am currently in Fiji. I'm heading towards Myanmar.

Very cool facts. Thanks for sharing!

I'm Tonga too!! I'm sure it's a beautiful country, but that is not what I hoped to see!

Hahaha that thing told me I'm 100% fatter than everyone in the world!! Go to my profile and look at current pic and tell me that's true! LOL

I'm laughing so hard right now!!!!! That is too much!

I came out United States at my current weight! ...ha! that's hilarious.

Ironically, I came out United States at my goal weight. Jeez...if I were any thinner than my goal weight, I'd look like I just walked out of Auschwitz.

I'm aiming for Ethiopia ' date=' I don't care what anyone says! LOL[/quote']

I'd be happy in Sweden :-)

I'm also fatter than 100% of women in the world.

Currently I'm way beyond Tonga, not even a country to call my own.

BUT next year at this time I will be basking on a beach in Mozambique!
