  • I too am in the 200's 223 to be exact. I lost about 30 pounds about two years ago and loved being in "one"derland but I managed to put it all back on. So I'm back here again looking for support and motivation. I have had Lupus for the past 10 years, so with the meds I take and the joint pain I don't always get to do as…
  • I missed out on the sign up last time, but I did register on the Match Up site, it doesn't look like I'm on the list for the 2nd part of the challenge. Can I still get added???

  • Hi there, I too am on the low dose, have been for over 5 years. I go for a yearly eye exam, and have had no changes or problems with vision. My eye Doctor told me that if they notice any changes during the exam, they have you stop the plaquenil and your vision should go back to normal, they just have to monitor you closely…
  • Sorry I can't be much help here, I know I'm positive ANA along with the symptoms for Lupus. I had other positive markers in my blood test too, I don't remember 100% what they were, Anti DNA, and something with RO??? I've had my diagnosis since 2005. I just know living with Lupus sucks, but at least we are Living! Best of…
  • Sorry, I can't be much help to you, I don't take that one (I do take plenty of other ones) I HATE prednisone, but if I didn't take it I don't think I'd be able to move. Let us know if you do, decide to take it how it works out. Best of luck to you. Sharise
  • Best of luck to you. Just keep your chin up and take things one day at a time. Wishing you good health. ~Sharise *feel free to add me as a lupus weight loss friend if you like :)

  • I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.... that really sucks. I'll let you know what I do, first of all I do take plaquenil, prednisone (low dose), an anti-inflammatory (stronger than Advill) twice a day, various other Rx's, Vitamin D, Calcium, and a multivitamin. But I've also added (new as of this year) a super-fruits…

  • Hello New Friends! I've been doing MFP for a couple of weeks now, I also use a Fitbit One to help track my steps and activity. I am a 40 year old married mother of two kids (16 and 12) and I am sick and tired of feeling the way I have. I want to get thinner, I don't want to be so achy all the time, I want to fit in my old…
  • Hi All! I'm new to MFP too! (unfortunately I'm not new to losing weight) Am trying really hard this time. Feel free to add me as a friend. I would love to have some fellow Loopie weight loss buddies!
  • Hey all! I too am new to this MFP website. I have had Lupus since 2005. I am on Prednisone and Plaquenil and Methotrexate (yuck) I'm really trying to get off that drug. I've been doing good with my Lupus, I just have to make sure I don't overdo it, I like to try and do it all and not ask for any help.I am currently at 217…
