  • Sometimes, the BMI is not the best measurement of how much a person should weigh. For example - the BMI of a professional bodybuilder would say he or she is morbidly obese.

  • I thought I heard or read once that less than 1200 calories a day makes it difficult to sustain adequate nutrition so your body doesn't go into starvation mode. MFP always tells me that if I eat less than 1200 cals a day I could run into issues. I know that each person gets different calculations, but less than 1200 cals…

  • Try foods that are still nutritious, and higher in calories. For example, almonds and other nuts, salmon without skin, natural peanut butter and whole grain pastas are higher in calories, but still very good for you. Beans and chickpeas are also full of fiber, and fairly calorie dense - if you eat these items, you will…

  • I know I'm back up more than 3 pounds since the 23rd... which is hard for me to deal with as it's only been 5 days... I'm scheduled to put myself back on the wagon on January 1st... as NYE will involve many drinks for me. I'm looking forward to losing at least 5 lbs of that annoying water weight when I get back on track...…

  • I think I just saw that wagon whizz by me and leave me in the dust, too. My goal is also to just maintain over Christmas. That wagon I think is coming back by around December 27th, so if we can hang on for 12 more days, it'll be back!!!

  • My trainer has told me that tea can count towards my water intake, if it's herbal and caffeine-free. There are alot of nice Christmasy teas out there (I prefer Stash's "White Christmas"). Although it is green tea (caffeinated). I usually have an extra 8 oz glass of water for every cup (8oz) of caffeinated tea or coffee I…
