I'm way behind in getting some things up on this blog, but here's a quick and fun way to get a picture of how you fit in globally - or perhaps how fit you are?
BMI has limited uses, I think, and can be misleading, but using this tool

you can calculate yours and compare it with others of your sex and age in your country and around the world.
Some things were as I might have expected, in terms of which countries have the highest BMIs among women of a certain age. Others were surprising. Without disclosing any of the numbers, who knew that I would fit right in in Malta? On the other hand, I've always said that if I were anything other than Northern European descent, I'd wannabe a Polynesian.
