I am one who ALWAYS hated peanut butter when I was a kid. I now have a vitamix and make my own natty PB and I LOVE it. My big problem now is finding peanuts without added sugar and salt. Yeah, plain old peanuts in the jar. This is the ingredient list from Planters Dry Roasted peanuts: Ingredients: PEANUTS, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: SEA SALT, SPICES (CONTAINS CELERY), DRIED ONION, DRIED GARLIC, PAPRIKA, NATURAL FLAVOR, SUGAR, GELATIN, TORULA YEAST, CORNSTARCH, DRIED CORN SYRUP, MALTODEXTRIN.
It drives me BATTY trying to find them without the added crap and usually when I do they are more expensive.
We have to remember that science is constantly growing and there is so much mis-information out there that was in some study posted years ago and is now taken as gospel even though the original study proved to be false. How many of you have even really read a study, not the condensed version that some journalist or Mercola or Dr Oz read and interpreted? AG and I were just discussing the other night the original study about resveratol and how we now know the original study was falsified. So much is based on "well we saw this in mouse/rat studies" but only a small fraction of that actually translates into humans. We all know that saccharine causes cancer right? It says right there on the label (oops, it used to, I guess it no longer does as it is declassified as carcinogenic). Do you have ANY idea how much they fed those lab mice for them to get tumors (I can't recall off the top of my head but it was some ridiculous amount)? On top of it they got a bladder cancer that I do not think exists in humans. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you base your nutrition knowledge on something you learned even 5 years ago most likely that information is no longer valid.

I lost part of my train of thought, it is also becoming quite well known that eating coconut oil will help you lost fat. Yeah, you heard me. Look it up. Try for a few tablespoons a day.

AerialGypsy, not all trans fats are bad for you. There has been a lot of research that has been out for about 10+ years and is finally hitting mainstream. I so totally know you are a geek so I am linking a relaly really really good article about the different fats. For anyone else who wants to learn a LOT about the different fats, I highly suggest taking the 20-30 minutes to read this; even bookmark it.

I forgot to add @ teapartie, you need to get your body fat measured. Even a cheapy plastic caliper will give you a good idea if you are moving in the right direction.

@teapartie, in response to your original question, BMI is a waste of a calculation. Most bodybuilders and even many of the people on this site would be considered obese by the BMI index. Plus you can be skinny fat on the BMI index and totally unhealthy and still be in a low range.
I will reiterate, DIET is everything. Stop putting overly processed foods into your mouth, eat good fats, have a balanced diet of proteins/veggies/fruits/carbs, keep stress under control, eat whole grains.
I have gotten into "fights" on this board over proper nutrition and I will not do it again. What I can say is that the national guidelines will only get you fat. My husband can eat starchy carbs and lose weight. When I was in my early 30's I could too. I cannot now. You need to arm yourself with research and experiment. Try something for a few weeks, if you see good changes, continue, if you don't switch it up.

I highly suggest picking up the eat clean diet by Tosca Reno. Pretty much any library carries it. The fact that you are even asking is a step in the right direction!

There are quite a few threads on here about older women who are competing.

Look at your diet. The only time in my life I ever had a flat belly was when I was eating clean (and doing cardio 3x a week).

All I wanna know is what hotel we are taking over and can we reserve an entire floor? Can you imagine the antics if we were all in the same place on the same floor?

Check the level. It does not appear that you have installed it straight up and down.

I cannot undersatnd what you are trying to describe. Can you take a video and post it?

The way I read it on FB, it is $35 for performers for the weekend, $35 per day or $50 for the weekend for non-performers.
"Announcing Prices! Performer Reg – $35 (includes weekend pass), $35/day OR $50 for the entire weekend!"
