How to decide on calories
Hi everyone! So I know that MFP sets your caloric intake for you when you fill out the information, but I'm just wondering if people always go by that or if you choose a different number?

Breakdown
Does anyone ever feel like you're just defeated? I had a bit of a mental breakdown this morning over my weight. I know that I need to do something about it, so why don't I?

New to this!
Hi everyone, I've used MFP off and on for a couple years, but never consistently. I just found out that I can post discussions as well, so I thought I would give it a try. I've struggled with losing weight for many years now, and I'm hoping that I can find the motivation to stick with it this time. I've been doing WW since…

Holy salt intake!
Okay, I've been tracking for a few days and doing okay staying within my calories, but I never realized how much sodium is in everything! I go over by a lot almost every day. My questions are: 1) Do people focus much on sodium intake? I know it can cause bloating and can be bad for kidneys and such, but I have no kidney…
