Just here to help and support. I know it's easy to just say stop eating the junk and exercise more and there is a way to add some better nutrition too without breaking the bank on expensive airport food.
Great. But what if you are athletic and don't want to lose weight.. BMI is crap! FWI. In 5'8". 190lbs. 17 inch neck, 34 inch waist and 10% body fat...
