Meal Replacement Shake suggestions?
I'm looking for a good meal replacement shake. Something that isn't low cal but has a good amount of protein (~30g) and good micro nutrients. I have been finding it difficult to make lunch everyday (ADHD) and I've tried a shake for lunch the past few days and it's really helped. But the shake powders I've been using were…

Hit my weight loss goal! (pics)
After a life time of being overweight, I've finally made it to a healthy weight. I've always struggled with weight due to physical limitation caused by scoliosis and a sedentary lifestyle and chronic depression.

Scale weight gain after upping calories?
So until the last week I've been losing pretty consistently eating at a 1 lb/week rate, often losing over a lb per week. Over the last 4-5 weeks I've been slowly increasing my calories to the .5 lb/week to slow down as I'm now <20 lbs from goal. However, over the past week my weight has jumped back up 1-2 pounds depending…

Low metabolism even with levothyroxin?
I just found this group. I have hashimotos just diagnosed this year but have been treated on and off for hypo for the past 7 years and I'm on generic synthroid, last tested in July. For most of this year I was losing weight eating no more than 1200 cal, estimated on my own before using the site. Since starting MFP I've…

Estimated calories burned from exercise equipment
I just started using the app. I hadn't recorded my exercise up to that point. I have lost of lot of weight but according to my trainer at the gym, 1/3 of that was muscle so I want to try to stop that by trying to eat back my exercise calories. So my question is how accurate are the calories burned readouts on most exercise…
