How important is sleep?
How important is sleep to weight loss? I really need to lose weigh. I recently started tracking calories here without trying to modify my eating habits (yet). I have even been weighing and measuring. I was curious since I don't feel like I eat enough to be as heavy as I am. So far I have been consistently under my calorie…

Need a replacement for comfort eating
I am a comfort eater...when I don't feel well I reach for food. I overeat. Unfortunately I have some health issues that are flaring up (AGAIN). I know I shouldn't use these issues as an excuse, but I have gotten back into my old bad habits the past few weeks. The scale is starting to go back up and I am so frustrated with…

My main social activity has always been EATING. It's what my family does whenever we get together: we go out to eat. Every holiday we get together, cook, bake and eat.…

Calorie Goals
I'm relatively new to MFP and so far I am finding it to be very helpful. I am wondering about the calorie goals that MFP sets. My daily goal is 1580. Is it best to consume as close to 1580 as possible without going over, or is it better to eat fewer calories as long as you don't go too low? I understand that going under…
