    and yes, I have hypothyroidism as well. Doesn't that affect it more?
    Are you being treated for the hypothyroid? If so and if your levels are normal, it shouldn't. It may affect it a little bit (edited to add - if your levels are still off, it may have a bit of an effect), but it shouldn't make too much of a difference where you're at. If what you're doing is working for you, just keep doing it! :) If you do want to boost your metabolism, the best thing you can do is exercise. Strength training is great for that and there are a lot of resources online for bodyweight exercises (no equipment needed!) but even just adding a little extra walking will help.

    I think you should be eating more than 1,800. Go with what MFP calculates. Slower is better. Don't lose the forest because you're obsessing over the trees.

    If you are insulin resistant look into Paleo or low carb or low carb high fat. Highly recommended for those with metabolic issues and lots of support in those groups.
