you should google "waist to hip circumference". This is a much healthier measure of health than BMI which doesn't take into consideration bone structure, muscle, etc. There are plenty of people walking around with healthy BMIs that are flabby. Many are discounting BMI as a 100% indicator of health.

Samra338, i hate that. It's like people saying that rich people are stingy...maybe they are rich because they are not spending their money unwisely!!!!! lol

I have a recipe for balsamic green beans and grape tomatoes...not sure how it would freeze.

Usually an omelet with spinach and other veggies, feta cheese and kalamata olives, or refrigerated mason jar overnight oatmeal with oats, milk, china seeds, Greek yogurt and fruit of choice, or maybe avocado toast on whole grain bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with cracked pepper and pink Himalayas sea…

I use olive oil :-)

Wildthingsmom....i have seen a woman from England do the same thing (televised documentary)...I don't think that type of experiment can be equated to those people who are obese and struggle with their weight. If you don't have a problem with food to begin with, putting on weight and then losing it isn't likely to be an…

I have lost over 100 pounds and maintained it for over a year and a half now, within 5 pounds. I have never worked so hard in my life - I feel like i work harder in maintenance than when i was losing, and it's harder b/c you don't have the motivation of being obese or even overweight...the only thing i don't do that i used…

Was thinking maybe you need to get out of the "diet" mentality. If you make a concious decision to eat healthy and sensibly, special occasions won't send you into a tailspin. Most of us on the site have probably dieted for some reason or another most of our adult life and probably pros at it. So I agree with most…
