Humira?
I had a rheumatology appointment yesterday and my doc wants to switch me to Humira injections, ugh! My current meds aren't doing enough I guess. I was afraid it'd come to this cause my little sis also has RA and has been doing injections for the past year. Unfortunately, it's not working for her. Anyone else do Humira…

TDEE, calorie questions, please help!
Ok, so I'm thinking about upping my calories and eating my TDEE - 25%, it seems to work for a lot of people. I have 54lbs left to lose maybe more for toning. I'm 28, 5'6" currently weigh 194. I've lost 31lbs thus far but it's been almost a month and no loss. I am currently eating just above my BMR. I have a sedentary job…

Plateaued yet again, please help!
Ok so I'm trying to figure out how many calories I should be eating since I'm on another plateau. When I first started MFP I was at 1200 calories, sedentary, workout 3-5 days a week, I was 225lbs, female, 28, and 5'6". I lost 20lbs but then plateaued. After doing research, I decided I should increase my calories to at…

Texas Caviar (bean dip, no actual caviar in it, lol)
We've had this twice at my bf's brother's and it is amazing and soooo addicting! I doubled the recipe and it makes a ton! But below is one recipe and still makes a lot. 1 green pepper (cut up in small pieces) 1 jar diced pimentos 1 jalapeno pepper (cut up in very small pieces, use gloves!) 1 can black eyed peas (drain) 1…

Obese and Pregnant!
On TLC right now! Very interesting. It just confirms I did the right thing by changing my lifestyle to a healthier one so I'll be able to have kids some day without all these issues these women have.

Another great NSV
So my boyfriend's 8 year old son is here for the weekend and when I changed into my workout clothes he said you're getting skinny! Feels good! I've got a way to go but glad people are noticing.

Biggest NSV yet!
So I've been on my journey to a healthier lifestyle for a little over a month now and I've lost 12 pounds yay! But I have bad RA in both my knees and all I've wanted was to be able to jog and eventually run again. I was diagnosed at 19 with arthritis (now 27) and over the years my exercise started lacking to the point I…

Bicycle help!
Ok so I'm looking to get a bike so I can go on bike rides this summer. I haven't used one in a few years and last one I had was a mountain bike (loved it). So my question is, what kind of bike do you have? Or recommend?? Thanks!

Ok need help!
Ok I know there a lot of posts like this on here so I do apologize but it just isn't clicking for me and for a few weeks I've been wondering about this so I guess it's time to finally ask. I've lost 9 pounds in 6 weeks which is a loss, yay! :) But I think it should be more since I do have 80 pounds to lose total. So I'd…

Little accomplishment
So I'm doing my first 5K (in years) called the Get in Gear this Saturday! Although I will only be walking because of my bad RA in my both my knees, I have come along way from not being able to walk just a few months ago!! :) Proud of myself! What are your little accomplishments?? Or a goal you have set for yourself??

The scale can kiss my .......
Butt! I'm 6 weeks into my weight loss journey and I can tell by my clothes and people's comments that I've lost more inches than anything. I finally bought a scale and it says I only lost 1 pound since my last weigh in which was 3 weeks ago! It got me a little discouraged but I said the hell with it. I'm going to let my…

Whey Protein Pancakes
So someone posted a bunch of protein food yesterday that included protein powder so I thought I'd give it a try. Just take protein powder, non flavored (I did 1 scoop) and add water until pancake consistency and fry it up like a pancake. it was soooo GROSS! Not a fan! Tasted like rubber, lol. I usually can eat anything but…

Dr. Oz Bloody Mary
Not sure if anyone has posted this but I found it yesterday and have also heard numerous times that hot, spicy things help boost the metabolism. So I thought I'd give it a try (recommended to have in morning): 2 cups tomato juice 3 pinches hot sauce (I added a little more since I like spicy things and zero calories) 1/2…

Memorial Weekend
Ok so I'm going camping Memorial Weekend, Friday night through Monday morning. Usually I would just get booze, hot dogs, chips, etc. But with my new life style change I don't want that weekend to mess up my journey. So ideas for food to bring with? I plan on bringing a big cooler with. My boyfriend and friends may think…

Just going to ask...
Ok I'm really going to kick start my lifestyle change by exercising more. I was doing 3 to 4 days a week now I'm going for 5 (I have arthritis so running isn't an option at this point, usually elliptical or walking). For work, I sit at a desk all damn day. In order to adjust my goals, would I still keep it on sedentary or…

Do you adjust your goals??
So I was wondering if you adjust your goal, as far as nutrition/calories go, as you lose weight? And if so, when do you adjust it? After every loss? 10 lbs? And so on... I started at 1240 calories a day, now I'm down 8lbs so I was just curious and changed my weight under goals here on MFP and now it says 1200 calories a…
