I tend to view my current post season weight as clinically obese, despite most of the normos saying I have the physique of a ten year old child.
This appeared this morning on BBC, which is a bit of fun:

BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 95% of males aged 30-44 in your country Global
Below average
You have a lower BMI than 75% of males aged 30-44 in the world
Did you know?
If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 30,958,125 tonnes fromthe total weight of the world's population

19 BMI. Eritrea. And I've been eating mince pies (well, one mince pie) and those Lindt Lindor chocolates today How come they're so fat in Micronesia? Maybe there's only a very very small number of people who live there, and one of them is Kim Dotcom (I seem to remember he lives over that way somewhere). 0

It said I had a BMI of zero and I that was lower than 100% of the worlds population. Then I noticed I had put my height in as 167mts. instead of 1.67mts. I am now in Morroco.0

Not cycled regularly for ~2 months now and I'm a carb binge eater during winter (if only this was the worst symptom of seasonal affective disorder).================

Well, the video says 95Kg and 174cm, so that's a BMI of 31.4
Further proof, if it were needed, that assessing how over/underweight an individual is by measuring their BMI is totally daft. BMI was created to assess an overall population - it was never meant to be applied to a single person.
Having said all that, according to the Beeb I'm most like someone from Indonesia.0 -
This week there is a booze calculator. So I normally drink like a Namibian and am fat as a Yemeni. This week is a little different and I would shame a Belarusian.0
