Good Morning all! My name is Tamarae. I am 28 and was diagnosed with RA 2 weeks ago and started MTX on Monday. I have been on MFP for almost 2 years and had at one point lost nearly 60lbs (20+ pre- MFP). Over the last 5 months I have gained about 20 lbs back and I want to go back to losing. I have never been excited about…

I've never played but I am up for trying!

SW- 252 CW-200 GW-150-160 depending on how I feel

I am 5'2 and weigh 200 currently wearing a 13/14 in one brand 15/16 every other brand.

Egg whites- bout 17 calories each! Whey protein Brownies- I have a recipe that ends up beign about 100 calories a serving and 52g of Protein. Made with apple sauce instead of fat and protein powder instead of flour.

I'm game. . . SW:197.6, GW- 182.0 (realistically going for GW175!)

Hey All- found the noodles at my local Natural Grocers-Vitamin Cottage for $1.45 a pkg!! Ready to try them!

I have lost nearly 60lbs. (about half pre-MFP), and have had 7 weeks of plateau and recently had a binge weekend and happened to lose 3lbs. . .sometimes the body needs more energy, which MFP can't adapt to. And sometimes we just need a change! Good luck with the No Carbs thing and let me know if it works!!

I am in- want to lose at least 30-40!!

mmmm. . . I love cupcakes! But I find if I bake I eat less :)

Add me- I will help support and motivate any way I can!

LOVE this idea. . .and I love spicy! I grow my own super hot peppers for things like this! Habeneros are my mildest pepper in the garden ;)

COMPLIMENT! I usually just call goregous, F-able men Delicious! lol Delicious is way easier and more fun than DILF. . .lol

I plateaued about 6 weeks ago, went ATVing one weekend for like 18 hours and lost 3lbs, and then have plateaued again. . .I have seriously changed my workout and nothing :( I need help too! A friend suggested 2 days of cantaloupe (one per day- a quarter 4x a day), lots of green veggies and lean protein (nothing else). I am…

Unfortunately no, but I have am amazing recipe for Habanero Chicken Tenders that is to die for (So not healthy for you! I have a hard time eating them anymore because I know how bad they are) You could try the Morning Star Veggie Nuggets ( I had them about 12-14 years ago) and they were pretty good. With sauce (mustard)…

Wednesdays around 8/8:30am I only do it once a week because it can fluctuate but I chose Wednesday because if I have a bad weekend I have 2 days for make up! I work at a University and the health clinic offers weight tracking for students and certain staff that ask. . .Since I first weighed in at work I have lost 56lbs.…

You look gorgeous!! Congrats on the loss and good luck on the rest! Can't wait to be there too :)

I am so there too! lol a lot. Tamarae Ellis or tamarae.ellis@gmail.com

Substitute Applesauce for butter and whey protein for flour- super pops! Or diet soda or pureed beans (but they are not as good)!

Any good gym will have a dress code, as much as I hate it! But I don't think its anyone else's business what I work out in unless I am causing a potential health issue or damaging the facilities/equipment. I can't imagine wearing jeans or boots to workout in, but if it works for them and fits code and my abovementioned…

LOVE your photo and I also notice people treating me better (sad fact to admit)

I saw smaller clothes at about 20-25lbs lost and now that I am down 56lbs (since I started, prior to finding MFP) I am seeing a visual difference and of course a 2nd round of smaller clothes. I am pretty short (5 foot 2 inches ish) so I think it was easier to lose clothing sizes, but also harder to see a visual difference!…

AWESOME!! Isn't that the best feeling!!! I tried on pants the other day in the size that I last purchased and was also down (2 sizes)! Crazy, fun, exciting!

After 3 days of this workout I also learned that more stretching = less pain later on! I do the quad stretch about 3 times for 10 seconds, each leg and that has been a life saver. Still struggling with the jump rope and butt kicks- I can do them the first time but after that its next to impossible so I do quick knee lifts…

Started yesterday (level 1- first timer) and today was tough because my legs killed (OUCH!) But I am hoping it works since I have a goal set that I want to meet on Aug 2nd! I can use/need any support out there- I can find any excuse to NOT workout!

Thanks all- been perusing CL for about 3 months and there are few in my area less than $250 but I may have found one today! My luck is I ask and then one just pops up! I had been using one at my local gym but I hate paying nearly $40 a month for a service I can barely use with my work schedule :(

To cut sodium you can use no salt added tomatoes, beans, etc. and add spices to flavor the soup! It cuts a HUGE amount of sodium! Enjoy!

Peanut butter! I am not a fan of protein shakes, so I make protein pancakes/waffles or protein "brownies/cake" and who doesn't love cake for breakfast!! lol

I would add habanero's or other super HOT chili's for the spice/heat factor! I love the salsa too- the hotter the better!
