"Where are you on the global fat scale?"

[erin9mmm]

This is interesting, even though BMI scales don't take into account muscle weight. I'm most like someone from Angola apparently.

Question: Where are you on the global fat scale?
Answer: A little south of Morocco.

I don't even want to know.

I'm not a big fan of BMI anyhow, as it does not take your frame or muscle mass into account. I have to buy men's watches and gloves because womens items don't fit my big wrists and hands. It's always been that way, for my mom too. We're just larger, even when we're not overweight.

I'm 5'11, VERY strong and you'll never have to shake out the sheets to find me. Last time I weighed under 160, I was 17 and recovering from jaw surgery where I could only eat strained soup and milkshakes for six weeks and for me that was too thin. I can see that now from photos, but at the time I thought I was fat.

I'm trying to focus more on being healthy rather than fitting in a mold. I'm not doing perfect there either, but I'm working on it.

Did you know?

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 54,396,275 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population
You're most like someone from Eritrea*

I have never even heard of Eritrea....

lol. I made a mistake when I first entered the info. I entered my weight in pounds but forgot to click "pounds" so it defaulted to kilograms. My BMI was totally off the map and I was like, "Whaaaaaa??? My BMI is 50? WTH???!!!"

Totally terrifying until I realized the mistake I made. LOL.

anyhoo, I am most like someone from China.

[sweet sparrow]

There has to be some mistake. I'm in denial.... Someone's math is off.

I can't believe I've been offended by a virtual scale now.
