Protein powder recs
Running low on protein currently using the Whole Foods 365 brand which has 80 calories and 16 grams of protein per scoop. Any recommendations? I usually use the protein to make smoothies. If possible, something with more protein would be great since I have trouble hitting my protein goal. Thanks!

How do you meet cal goals when you're not near a fridge?
We're going away over the weekend and are going to be with a bunch of friends. We're probably going to be eating out breakfast/lunch/dinner. I'm a snacker and I always have a mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and evening snack. What are some good snack ideas that won't make it look like I'm hoarding food?? Preferably things that…

Food Diary/Daily Calorie Goal
I have my calorie goal set to my TDEE - 15% (2,068) so it will tell me how many calories I have remaining based on that figure. When I go to look at past days, it has different numbers for my daily goals. Yesterday it says 2,303 and before that 2,384. Is that because of the exercise I did? It's just very confusing and it's…

I've also been aiming for 30 minutes of walking with the dog which gets my heart pumping but isn't a hardcore cardio workout. I want to get back into spinning.

My eyes must be deceiving me.
Just took some before pictures - not ready to share - but damn. When I look at myself in the mirror, I think I look okay. I know I'm overweight for my height and have pounds to lose, but heck I think I look pretty sexy naked! When I looked at the pictures, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Are my eyes deceiving me that…

Do I need to lift?
It seems like everyone is doing some kind of lifting. Do I need to do heavy lifting to be successful at EM2WL? Right now my focus has been on getting through Ripped in 30. Not sure where I will go from there.

New Sneaker Recommendations?
I just took my dog for a 30 minute walk on flat terrain and my feet are killing me! I think it's time for new kicks. I'm not a runner. I wear my sneakers for moderate walking in the neighborhood and aerobics/strength training in the house. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hello!
I just downloaded the MFP app and am happy that the website has a forum as well. I just started to get back into a fitness routine about 3-4 weeks ago and only recently had the courage to step on the scale. I'm 5'2 and am weighing in at 175 lbs which is the heaviest I've ever been. I put on 15 lbs in a year and a half. I…
