In the Telegraph Earth News section, there's a graphic that will tell you where you are in the world's average adult weight.

I'm lighter than "the average adult" in 167 countries, heavier than "the average adult" in 10 countries, and weigh about the same as "the average adult"in Ethiopia.

Right. I'm off to read the Indie and the Grauniad to see what newsful gems they have today.

I am an obese elf in any country.

I know it's wrong but I look at my neighbour with M.S. and two friends getting over cancer and I thank God that's my only problem.

I was happy to find that I'm bang on average until it struck me that as a 5'1" woman i should be a lot less than average... Oh dear. Then I read your comment POGS and felt a lot better. You're quite right, thank you.

I think that I`m classed as morbidly obese. But as they say in America, I`m not fat, I`m a little heavy, lol!

Apparently, I'd be average if I lived in Cyprus! LOL!

yearofthetiger I'd be average if I lived in Algeria – but would that be an average man?
