If you haven't already done so, read this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

Check out dc rainmaker. He does a lot of thorough reviews. I personally have fitbit flex, but am now considering Garmin vivofit.

Does your injury prevent you from getting walks in? Nice low impact activity, but every little bit helps.

How long have you been in a plateau? If you're not losing, then you are not likely eating at a deficit. Read these posts, especially the first: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…

Optimum Nutrition and BSN make very good protein powders. Cellucor gets good reviews, but I've not had the opportunity to try them yet.

Just looking at a pic makes it hard to guess one's bf. You can pick up a set of calipers relatively cheap through places like Amazon or the Vitamin Shoppe.

You don't need any shake or pill or somebody's book. You do need to eat at a deficit. Please check out these posts. Lots of good info in them. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here?hl=so+you%27re+new+here…

Probably water weight. Nothing to fret over. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ihad/view/mfp-101-i-just-gained-3-pounds-overnight-636811

Welcome! I would make one suggestion. Instead of listing measurements (a half cup), actually weigh the items. Weigh solids and measure liquids. Here is some good reading: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…

A friend sent me a Facebook message last night with a picture from 2012. She said, "You don't look like the same person anymore." I told her I used a cropped version of that photo as my "Before" pic and refer to it when I need I reminder of why I do this.

You can start out with giving some of these posts a read, especially the Sexy Pants post. Lots of good info http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here?hl=so+you%27re+new+here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…

Have you looked into Polar Loop? Check out DC Rainmaker. Lots of reviews on lots of trackers. So. Many. Choices.
-
I find that just doing some walking temporarily helps with the soreness in my legs, especially after some brutal calf raises.

For the moment, you should be going with the first set of numbers to help lose weight. And you can leave your activity level as is until you actually start doing some exercise. You definitely want to have a daily calorie goal that you can sustain and that first number looks reasonable. Give it a try for 4-6 weaks and…

New running shoes.

Congratulations for wanting to take charge of your health and well being! Please understand that this isn't a sprint. Weight loss is not linear, but with a caloric deficit and patience, you'll get there. There are a lot of good posts out there with helpful information. This one should be a mainstay:…
-
To lose weight, you eat at a deficit. To gain weight, you eat at a surplus. You'd eat at maintenance to keep the weight you have now.
-
What is your activity level? What did you set your goal weight for? You may wish to recalculate these numbers to something not so restrictive numerically. Have you calculated your BMR and TDEE? If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal If you have 25-40 lbs to lose…

As with the diet plan, perhaps you should just stick with one app.
-
Are you weighing and logging everything accurately and consistently? This is often one of the main reasons why we don't lose. If you haven't done so, give this a read: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants
-
Also bear in mind that MFP over calculates calories burned and you may not be burning anywhere near that figure.
-
If you are using MFP to track your calories, yes, eat your exercise calories back. If you are using TDEE, no, don't eat your exercise calories back. Which method are you using?
