Are BMI calculators accurate for women with large breasts?

Need chicken ideas!
What do you add to your chicken to make it more tasty without adding a lot of calories. I'm avoiding processed stuff and sugar, so BBQ sauce is, sadly, out. :( Seasonings? Or other ideas?

Souper easy egg drop soup
I'm a little obsessed with this right now. Great way to get in the extra protein if you don't have a lot of calories left for the day AND it's really easy and really fast. And you can customize it to fit the macros you need. You could also easily modify this, adding in veggies (I'm considering spinach next time), spices,…

How many calories are you eating at 170 lbs? Eat more to lose more? How much protein?
I've lost 7 pounds, down to 173 from 180. I've been eating 1200-1300 and it was ok at the start, but my cravings are coming back so I'm thinking I'm going to up my calories so I don't quit. Just curious how many calories others are eating at this weight to lose. I know it will vary with activity level, but for a base? I…

Do you still eat when you're not hungry?
My calories are set to 1,300 and I figured if I feel that's not enough I'll up it. I've already lost 7 pounds (mostly probably water weight, but I'll take it!). Sometimes it's time to eat and I'm just not hungry. I eat a small breakfast (2 hard boiled eggs and 1 turkey sausage patty) because I'm not very hungry in the…

Exercise program suggestions please!
I am a stay at home mom of two on a tight budget, so exercise time is restricted and we can't afford a gym membership right now. So I'm thinking a video program. But I also have issues with my back and hips (I have scoliosis) and a lot of plyometrics and jumping are no bueno, even a lot of jumping jacks are too much for my…

Favorite new healthy foods?
I LOVE to try new foods. My husband and I always try to buy at least one new thing each week (not always super healthy, but it's fun to experiment). We bought Ahi tuna this week, but we haven't made it yet... My favorite new healthy foods so far are: Almond milk (so good it's hard to believe it's not awful for you!) Hummus…

Yoga Question
I've been doing Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown this week and while I'm doing it my hands/wrists hurt bad enough I have to stop for a minute to stretch them out. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Anyone have any of her workout DVDs? Good? Bad? ... Ugly? :wink:

Woops!
I wanted to try a new recipe I saw Anne Burrell make on the Food Network. It happened to be panna cotta. And then I made the mistake of eating it before calculating calories. 980 calories in that thing!!! It's mostly made of heavy cream, which I figured would be similar in calories to milk... but I was WRONG!!! Dang it!…

Pop Chips
I've been wanting to try these, but I can't find them. Are they good??? Where do you get them??? (I found them on Amazon, but you have to buy a 24 pack, and I want to try them before I commit to 24 bags...)

Breastfeeding Mom
I'm currently breastfeeding my 2 month old son and plan to continue until he's at least a year, so I'm trying to figure out how to set my goals on here to account for that. I read online that a breastfeeding mom should eat around 2500 calories, so I tried reducing it to 2200 on here to lose weight gradually, but it said I…

Maple Glazed Walnuts
I found this recipe (it's actually a video) at foodnetwork.com It's super simple and really good! 1/3 cup of walnuts contains 100% of your daily recommended Omega-3 fatty acids. Ingredients: 2 cups walnut halves 1/3 cup maple syrup (you could use less) dash of salt Directions: Add walnuts to a large pan. Drizzle maple…

Any cyclists out there?
I went to my first spinning class last night and it was a really great workout and a total blast! But today my booty is REALLY sore from the seat. How do you prevent this? Does it just get better over time? I don't really have the money to buy expensive cycling gear like padded shorts, especially since this will be…

What are your reasons?
I've been struggling with my weight for a few years. I've been on-again, off-again with this site for about a year and a half (I can't remember exactly when I joined). When I started my reasons for losing weight were pretty much all superficial. I wanted to look better in my clothes, get out of the double digit sizes, be…

Sodium in canned vegetables
I really, really love green beans, so I've been bringing a can with me to work every day and eating the whole can with my lunch (70 cals, 4g protein, 7g fiber!!!). The only problem is, I just realized how high the sodium is (almost 1400 mg). According to my food log, I'm supposed to get around 2500 mg in a day. So having…

No excercise, No sleep?
Before I started exercising, I would say I slept okay-some nights better than others. But now, on nights when I exercise I sleep like a total baby. The only bad side is, if I take a day off from exercising (it's good to do that about once a week or so to let your body recover, ya know :wink: ) I cannot sleep at ALL. I just…

I feel good! How about you?
I feel so great! It's 8:20 am for me and I'm not tired! (I used to totally drag in the morning.) I feel HEALTHY on the inside. I carry myself with confidence. I'm proud that I've actually been sticking with this! I actually resisted Taco Bell yesterday--before I wouldn't have even thought twice. I feel amazing. How about…

Penne with Pesto
I found this on the Women's Health Magazine site (www.womenshealthmag.com) and my fiance and I LOVE it! I use whole wheat penne and sometimes omit the cheese. You could also add chicken or shrimp (or whatever kind of meat) as well to add some extra protein. I normally hate tomato sauce, but this has a very fresh and yummy…

Turbo Jam--Is it any good?
I've noticed that a lot of you on here work out to Turbo Jam and I was considering buying just the workouts off of Amazon, it would only be about $15. I was wondering, is it any good? What do you like and/or dislike about the workouts? Is the instructor annoyingly peppy? Have you seen any results with continued use? Any…

Tea Time
I absolutely LOVE tea and I found this article in Women's Health Magazine a few years ago and just thought some of you might like to read it. :drinker: Also, there is one thing to keep in mind before you drink a lot of tea-it limits iron absorption. I'm not going to claim to be an expert on the issue, but if iron is a…

Starting Over
I started on this website around Christmas and I totally fell off. We went on a 10 day vacation to Germany and then school started and we just recently moved-my life has been totally crazy! I'm embarrassed :blushing: I didn't stick with it the first time, but I know I can do this and I'm now in a place where I can workout…

Hello everyone!
Hi! I found this website on a forum on a different website and I have to say, so far it looks amazing! I want to lose weight for my wedding, next June, and our honeymoon (hopefully a Caribbean cruise!). I used to be so thin, around 115 pounds, and then college happened. Haha. I'm currently around 150. My weight gain was…
