BMI male & female

Biggest Loser Kitchen Scale
I just bought THE BIGGEST LOSER Glass Digital Kitchen Scale by TAYLOR (#3831BL). I am not finding it to be 100% accurate. (i.e. I just weighed a bagel that the package said should be 99g, but the scale weighed it at 105g.) I was wondering if anyone else owns this scale? Do you find it to be accurate? Do kitchen scales tend…

8 Cups of Water and other liquids
It is recomended to drink 8 - 8 oz glasses of water a day. Do you think water in coffee counts? What if you have 4 cups of coffee? Is that 4 glasses of water? Because it's in there. How about other beverages: tea, soda, ect.? How about flavored water? (Fruit 2o, Propel, ect.) Or do you think it has to be 100% pure water?

Walking In Running Shoes?
I usually buy cross trainers as my all around shoe. (New Balance is my preference). I will use these shoes for my every day use, including walking for exercise.

Battery Life Of Your Scale?
I bought my scale 2 months ago and just had to replace my batteries. Seems kind of soon to me! They are the flat, round, coin shaped batteries. The brand name of my digital scale is "Trimmer".

Orville Redenbacher Is Confusing
Can anyone figure out the nutrition information for Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn Light Butter 2.9 0z bag? I am totally confused! If you eat a whole bag ,which should be about two and a half serving, is it only 38 calories? Yet if you eat a mini bag of Orville's pop corn, it is 100 calories. If someone could…

Not Quite The Fountain Of Youth (but close)
I have been trying to find an alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners I've been sampling Purevia, Truvia and Stevia In The Raw. All those companies graciously sent me samples and coupons. At first, as far as taste, I thought Purevia and Truvia were the clear winners (in that order) with only a mild aftertaste. To…

I am looking at the top of my "FOOD" page and I track Calories, Carbs, Fat , Fiber, Cholesterol and Sugar. Ok I got it! (I think) Calories = bad Fat = bad Cholesterol = bad Sugar = bad Fiber = good (right?) Carbs...well I'm not sure...do you want carbs or not?

My Fitness Pal apparel
I don't think there is but I'll ask anyway. Is there anywhere to get My Fitness Pal apparel? I think it would be great to be out for a walk or jog, at the mall or grocery store, and be able to recognize a MFP member by their t-shirt or baseball cap with the MFP logo and name on it! And maybe even caught having a Big Mac…

Why was my calorie goal reduced?
I weighed in this morning and lost a total of 11 lbs (yipeee!) After I entered my new weight, MFP suggested I update my goals since I've lost over 10 lbs. So I followed their recomendations and they lowered my daily calorie intake goal from 1690 to 1620. Why did they do this?
