Answer #1

You have a BMI of 20.77. You may want to try the south beach diet.

BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 (Normal Weight) People whose BMI is within 18.5 to 24.9 possess the ideal amount of body weight, associated with living longest, the lowest incidence of serious ilness, as well as being perceived as more physically attractive people than persons with BMI in higher or lower ranges. However, it may be a good idea to check your Waist Circumference and keep it within the recommended limits.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Answer #2

Your mom wants you to put your weight back on so she can feel good about her excuse for putting on weight after she had kids. She is living vicariously through you. It’s a codependant mom thing. Don’t let it bother you. Just realize that her comments aren’t about you, they are trying to rationalize something in her mind. As for the other chicks.. let them talk. People will always talk crap about other people to take that spotlight off their own insecurities. Rise above it and you will be all the better.
