Humira
Hello. I have been on Humira for 2 months now. I have had HS for 30 years. Nothing has ever helped. I had surgery on both my arms 7 years ago and it was a life saver. I have heard nightmare stories of HS patients and surgery so I was very lucky. The doctor says to give Humira a minimum of 3 months to start showing results.…

We are doing a complete remodel on it, and I am super super busy. This last week we have eaten out almost every day. I cannot keep doing that. So...I need some help. I need some…

I admit it, I have a problem with food
So...I have a problem. With food. I try really really hard to eat healthy. And I usually do. The problem is, when I am at work I for some reason feel the need to eat, constantly. I eat breakfast at home, but then eat something (Granola bar, yogurt, fruit) again by 10am. And I struggle to wait until 10am. then lunch around…

BodyBugg/BodyMedia calculations with MFP
I started using a BodyBugg about 2 weeks ago. I have it synced with my MFP account. I usually do my meal planning first thing in the morning and plan my day around what MFP has my calorie intake at. I add a few extra hundred cals because I know that BodyMedia suggest I eat closer to 2000 cals based on my days and MFP has…

Losing Inches
I know that it is nearly impossible to target where you want to lose from, but this is just insane. I have lost a total of 1.25 inches off of my waist, but 5 inches off of my hips!! This is just since the middle of Jan. (9 weeks). I don't understand why there hasn't been much coming from my waist. I do a good bit of Zumba…

If every day where like today...
I just thought this was interesting... A little over 5 weeks ago MFP told me "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 202.9lbs in 5 weeks"... and this morning I weighed in at 202.8. That is a little over a 6lb loss in 5 weeks. I for the most part follow MFP guidelines and eat the recommended calories per day, I almost…

Company Coming - Watching Cholesterol and Diabetes
My inlaws are coming to dinner this weekend and I am planning on cooking a big dinner. We recently found out that my father-in-law is having trouble with his cholesterol and diabetes. Typically I would make something like homemade brocolli and spinage calzones or a huge lasagna or something, but considering the recent…

Workout shoes? Which ones?
I am looking to get a different pair of workout shoes. Right now I have a pair of New Balance, but they are getting worn out and I desperately need a new pair. I do not do any running, so please do not factor that it. I do a lot of home workout videos, such as JM shred, Kickboxing, Zumba and a lot of other high impact…

Sore/Pulled muscle and Zumba?
I am supposed to start a Zumba class tonight (for twice a week) and I am a little iffy about going because of what I think is a pulled muscle in my neck/shoulder. It has been sore and at times painful for about a week now. I have been putting cold and hot on it regularly and taking ibuprofen when it gets really tight. It…

What workout should I do?
I just finished 4 weeks of Turbo Jam where I lost 6lbs. I am thinking maybe it is time to move on to a different full time workout, although I absolutely love the Turbo Jam. Workouts I have: Jillian Michaels 30DS and Ripped in 30 (Both of which I have tried a few times and do not think I am quite ready for), Slim in 6…

Experimental Muffins - Results *FLAT* Suggestions?
I have been trying lately to create healthier baking habits. (I love to bake). So I found a recipe for some muffins, but I altered it slightly to include some ingredients I wanted, and I used wheat flour instead of white. The result was not what I was looking for. They taste alright, but they are not "muffins". My husband…

Exercise Calories and Daily Goal
I am one of those that eats my exercise calories back. My question is, If 5 days a week with my exercise calories I am eating approximately 1750 - 1800 calories a day, but the other 2 days I may only do light exercise which would put me at maybe 1400-1500 calorie goal for the day, should I continue to eat the 1750 - 1800…

I feel like I am starving!!! I ate a good breakfast after my workout this morning, and here it is 10am and I am so ready for lunch. I have heard it is better to take your "snack time" in the afternoon, but I think I am going to have to start doing 2 snacks a day, one between breakfast and lunch, and the other between lunch…

Elliptical vs. Exercise Bike
I have an option to purchase used either a Proform Cross Trainer Elliptical or a Gold's Gym Power Spin Exercise Bike.
