link Being heavier than 91% of the US & 99% of the rest of the world in my gender/age bracket is scary, but the world's population to be 16.5 million short tons heavier if they were my size is horrifying. Interesting that my body mass is most like people from Micronesia. |

It's just not weight, it's your body's response to it that's important. I'm obese, don't smoke, rarely drink, my cholesstoral is low and good, no sugar problems. Some arthritis, vascular problems in both legs due to a injury. My doctor says I look like a walking cardiac arrest but my bloodwork is better than 99% of her other patients. So work on the health that matters, I guess.. |

Heavier than 100% of my country and the world. If everybody wieghed as much as me they'd "add 666,764,118 tonnes" . Hefty-hefty. |

Hmm, I wonder where the mean BMI would be if some of the low-end countries (Eritrea, Bangladesh, etc) weren't on the verge of starvation? |

BMI is a load of codswallop. I always come back as obese, and unless I remove both legs and one arm I would never achieve my optimum weight. In this study I'm 61% heavier than other Aussies and 83% heavier than males my age in the world

OK, so lets stay spread out. If we all gather together in one place we may throw the planet out of orbit. |

Im 6'3" and 272lbs but only 12% bodyfat the Doc wants me to lose 80lbs I asked him how, cut off my leg? |
Ron W DuBray | 15 Jul 2012 1:15 p.m. PST |
right now my BMI is 34 ? there is about 30lbs of fat on my body at 272 lbs at 242 my body fat would be 0 I'm would still be at 25 BMI and would be so sickly I might live 5 more years total. NO fat is bad very bad. Their numbers are broken |

It's cheating letting North Korea be part of the study, I mean kim who ever is in chage now is probebly staving his population just to get lower on this study. |
