BMR calculation confusion
I am so confused. I have been trying to calculate my BMR, as I have read that it's not healthy to eat below that.

How Much Water is Too Much?
This might seem like a silly question, but it occurred to me on Saturday. On Friday, a co-worker gave me a really neat water bottle.

Not eating enough to lose weight?
Hi, I'm new here and new to trying to lose weight. I’m not overweight—actually, I’ve spent a good portion of my life trying to achieve a healthy weight for my height, and once I did, I was fine.
