Always thinking about food
Hi, my name is Nadia. I am 31 years old, and I am nearly desperate. I wonder if I'm alone in this, but whenever I am consistently tracking, the thoughts about food and my next meal are always at the back burner of my mind. All day long.

Question about Wisconsin
I am going on a 4-day family vacation to a lodge in Wisconsin. What are some places to go and things to do there that are MFP-friendly (as opposed to stuffing our faces with delicious cheese and wine)? I would like to stay active and make some great memories. Any recommendations?

Leftovers...
I have yo-yo dieted my whole life so I now try to avoid rash desisions and radical action in my approach to healthier eating. I am trying to adopt moderation. So here's my problem.

Weekly goal panic
Good morning, I am in a panic mode, and I feel like I'm gonna lose it. I have been logging food and working out almost daily (at least 45 min, not logging, because I am not ready to commit to exercising and am just doing it at free will for now). This morning I looked at the weekly calorie goal and saw that I only have 450…
