BMI

In the almost 8 months that I've been doing GB, I have gained 10 pounds which is kind of incredible for me.  You'd never know it because I think I look even thinner than I did before and all my clothes fit looser.

Interestingly, due to the weight gain my BMI has gone up which I find funny.

I went from being most like a Sri Lankan to a more like a Somalian.  LOL

"You have a higher BMI than 98% of males aged 15-29 in the world"

I don't think that's right

My BMI verges on overweight....

Mine too. Bmi doesn't make sense for people in shape...

"Did you know?

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 52,832,139 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population"

Well, thanks a whole lot BBC, for making me feel great about that cupcake I had with supper >.<

"You're most like someone from Uganda"

Awesome, Ugandans are world class gymnasts, right? 

I think I should have taken up sprinting. 

Mine was perfect oO

I'm brazilian and it told me I'm most like someone from Brazil

BMI doesn't discriminate between fat and muscle. It's useless, unless  you're fat. But if you're fat, you know you're fat.

Some people don't. 

Irish by heart, Algerian by waistline.

why is it surprising that gaining body weight increased your BMI?  That's how the calculation works.
