Boredom, stress, over committed, socializing triggers
Hi I was responding to some one's post when I mentioned that these factors ( boredom, stress, being over committed and socializing ) are my biggest triggers.

Hurricane Sandy

What determines the calories MFP gives you as a limit each day? I am assuming it is a combination of your weight and activity level. I have read other peoples info and they seem to have a different limit than I do. I am limited to the standard 1200 calories per day. I am not complaining other than seem to have difficulty…
