I tried thinking of myself as "safe against famine" but then I started believing it and didn't want to lose weight... :rolleyes:

Yes, I do worry that if I ever get to my goal weight that I will lose that feeling of power that comes with being able to part the way in mall crowds.

Okay I don't really trust this calculator. My BMI is 19.19 and it's telling me "preferable" but I'm practically underweight.

The thing is, it doesn't take into account bone structure or muscle tone or things like that, so it can't give the best idea. BMI never gives an accurate picture for me, really, IMO.

I have that prob too... my doctor freaked out last time I went in, and my mom monitored my eating habits for like a month afterwords. :rolleyes: I'm a vegetarian and don't have a lot of muscle... I think I'm going to work on that this year.

Try starting with dried ones instead of canned. Makes all the difference in the world. The Maya used to plant 3 different seeds in one hole, bean, corn and squash. The corn provided the support for the bean to grow up. The beans are nitrogen fixers which means they absorb nitrogen from the air and put it off as nodules on their roots fertilizing the corn and squash. The squash's leaves covered the ground helping to keep it moist and from drying out in the hot Yucatan sun. Together, corn, beans and squash form a complete protein. It's how the Maya could build such a massive civilization. When I was on mission in Guatemala more years ago that I care to admit, the priest used that example to explain the trinity with the corn as God the father (the foundation), the beans as God the son (the nourisher), and the squash as the Holy Spirit (the protector).
