Once we lose all of those extra pounds, we need to find a way to maintain the wonderful losses and gains that we've achieved. One way to do that is to know what your caloric needs are. This site has a Basal Metabolic Calculator that also has an activity calculator. This allows you to see what your base BMR is if you do nothing but breathe... then you can add in your level of activity to see what your actual caloric needs are. Give it a try and see what your new BMR is.

This is a great site that another OH member alerted me to. It allows you to find restaurants in your area that provide healthy dining choices. You can select by area and budget. It provides a list of restaurants that meet their healthy dining guidelines.

This way you can head off to a restaurant with a healthy dining plan ... and a plan is half the battle to eating healthfully!
