healthnow, the last time i weighed myself was back in the last week of november/first week of december when me n cyn would still go work out together after class sometimes. (that's another thing that makes getting exercise hard for me, i have no one to go with, and i'm scared that if i go by myself i'll 1. see cyn, or worse 2. see cyn there with mara) when i weighed myself then, i was about 150lbs. this means that in the past 2 n a half months i've GAINED ABOUT 14 POUNDS. seriously, wtf jennifer? n getting dumped sure as shit didn't help that...but yeah, so i guess in a way this information is also all a big "fuck you" to all the ppl that told me i wasn't fat n didn't need to lose weight.
Your Total Energy Expenditure is 2067 calories/day.
This is the approximate number of calories you need to consume to maintain your current weight. If you eat more calories than this on a regular basis or reduce your activity, you will gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than this regularly or increase your activity, you will lose weight. Keep in mind that your total energy expenditure may vary from day to day based on how active you are.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 29.1.
BMI is a measure of whether you are at an appropriate weight for your height. Check the following table to see where your BMI falls. Keep in mind that if you are extremely muscular and fit, the BMI may falsely classify you as overweight or obese.
Underweight: <18.5 Normal: 18.5 - 24.9 
Overweight: 25.0 - 29.9 Extremely Overweight: >30.0
Your BMI indicates that losing some weight would benefit your health. Although individual metabolisms vary, generally cutting back 500 calories a day [1567 for me] will help you lose about one pound per week, which is a healthy rate of weight loss. This is best done by minimizing your extras (foods high in fat and sugar) and by watching your portion sizes from all food groups. Being physically active will help shed pounds and inches even faster.
- Eating iron and folate-rich foods is important throughout the years you menstruate to prevent anemia. If you have anemia, your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body, which can cause a lack of energy and other health problems. Good food sources of iron include red meat, poultry, dried peas, beans and lentils and enriched breads and cereals. Folate, a type of B vitamin, is found in dark-green leafy vegetables, dried beans and peas and in fortified cereals and grains.

6oz of grains a day
2.5 cups of vegetables a day
2 cups of fruits a day
3 cups of milk products a day
5.5 oz of meat and beans a day
