I have RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and my knee and shoulder often would bother me. I have now lost more than 12 pounds and my knee has stopped hurting when I go on long walks! I can exercise vigorously and feel great! My rheumatologist was very happy with my weight loss too--he said just 10 pounds takes a lot of stress of the joints!!' Yay!

Thank you for sharing your story on your weight loss and how it`s helped your Rheumatoid Arthritis. I too have RA and I just lost 12 lbs. starting this program the First of November. I find a big difference in my knee pain as well and my Other joints that ache. Nice to know that it`s the weight loss that`s making this pain go away. Ì needed to read this today obviously, so I can be inspired to keep on keeping on this program.0
