How many calories??
Hi everyone, Just curious, about how many calories should a healthy, athletic woman consume daily? MFP tells me 1200, but I feel like I should maybe eat more? I try to go to the gym at least 5 days a week; usually either a 2-3 mile walk/run, elliptical, or Zumba. Just curious on everyone's thoughts! Thanks! D.

The snooze button!!! Ahhhh! Seriously, what is wrong with me? I snooze for an hour and only leave myself about 40 minutes to get ready for work?!

Hi everyone!
