So I've been on my journey to a healthier lifestyle for a little over a month now and I've lost 12 pounds yay! But I have bad RA in both my knees and all I've wanted was to be able to jog and eventually run again. I was diagnosed at 19 with arthritis (now 27) and over the years my exercise started lacking to the point I could hardly walk! With finally getting on the right meds and starting off slowly by walking, tonight I started the couch to 5k and I was able to jog all the intervals! I'm so happy I could cry!!! This is HUGE for me!

    That's so awesome!!! Such a good feeling!

    I am doing a 5K Walk for Arthritis next month and hopefully we can raise some money to get even more people like you able to reach these kinds of goals!

    Keep it up! :)

    I have a friend with RA, so I'm sure the journey so far has been difficult. You're doing an amazing job especially since you've been able to reach this goal in a month!
