Does anyone hear have Lupus and are trying to lose weight? It's so hard for me to lose and I've been feeling so unmotivated because of that. I'm vegetarian and eat clean and workout at least 3-4 times a week, and it's so hard for me to lose with my medications I am on.

    I assume you are on prednisone which really does make weight loss difficult. Hopefully you have a good rheumatologist who can guide you; have him/her send you to a dietician. Excellent nutrition and exercise is vital for you. I did not start losing weight until I started seeing an excellent dietician. And just keep moving; park farther away in the parking lots and take stairs whenever possible, do arm exercises when you are watching TV, etc. Drink tons of water. You have challenges but you can do it !!!

    I am not on predisone anymore. I've been off for 5 years now. I am on blood thinners, plaquenil, and trileptal. I have talked to my doctor and he just says exercise.
