I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I would like to lose 50 lbs with diet and exercise. I am only allowed to walk and strength train. Looking for a support group.

    Yep! *puts up hand*

    I even did the Paddison Program up until last year to get on top of it through diet. I'm not even on Methotrexate now, and have a CRP below 5, so it is possible to get on top of it with diet & exercise. I was permanently on crutches until June 2014, now I can take the odd run!

    I gained a few pounds last year though (pure laziness) and want to lose another 20 lbs. I still have bad days though where it's tough...

    Feel free to add me :)

    I have RA as well, walking is all I can do exercise wise. I am eating cleaner and that has helped some need to lose at least 20. Feel free to add me I am a daily user of this site. Good luck and try and stay strong
