my doctor put me on methotrxate at the begining of the year to controll my RA. my pain is now more managable and i have been back into excercise, i go to spin/RPM classes 3 times a week and swim 3 times a week. i just cant seam to shift the extra weight i put on when i was prednisone. i pretty much keep to the daily calorie count of 1200 calories, most days i am just under the total
any suggestions to help shift the extra kilos ???

    It sounds like you need to increase your daily calories. 1200 may not be enough for you. With my RA and the meds I take and I had to play around with my calories.
