Recently diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis and trying to lose weight

Hi! I used to be an avid My Fitness Pal user! Years ago, I went from 210 lbs to 128lbs, I got my health back and even became a certified spin and fitness instructor. Then a year and a half ago my health took a dive. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis. I gained a lot of weight back and went up to 185lbs. I'm 35 years old, and a wife and mother of two. Since rejoining MFP, I have gone back down to 176.8lbs. It feels so good to be back. My goal is to lose an additional 30 lbs and I'd love the additional support through this journey!
