Hi, I have been recently been diagnosed with R/A and it has knocked me a bit and I had a wobble for a couple of weeks but now I am back on track with the food but I keep getting told it is so hard to loose weight with R/A.
Has anyone loosing weight successfully with R/A? If so what exercises if any are you doing and how much/ofter?
I feel if I don't loose this weight then what happens if I have a bad flare up and can't move myself around easily because of the weight? I need that bit of advice and encouragement to get me on the right road.
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate all the help that MFP users give.
