Looking for friends who also have Psoriatic Arthritis...
There isn't too much going on for people with PsA. I saw one group chat, but it's older with no current posts. If anyone out there have this disease, please friend me. I've had PsA since '96 and would love to have the support from other people that suffer from this. Thanks!

Low Carb and hating the scale...
I will not let the scale make me quit, but I have to wonder how it work sometimes. I went to a nutritionist on January 8th. She recommended a low carb diet for me. No more than 110 carbs a day. 30g each meal/ 15g each snack. I belong to a weight loss group called Tops and our first weigh in since starting this low carb…

How to get my drive back?
I just can't seem to find the drive I once had. First a little history of my weight issus. In 1997, I had a Gastric Bypass weighing in a 393. In a year I lost about 150ish lbs, but never did I exercise or eat well. I simply lost the weight due to fact I couldn't eat much. Over time, the weight came back on. Fast forward to…

Rant!
I work at my local hospitals gift shop. The gift shop has NO shortage of candy and of all kinds! Each and everytime I work, I have a mental fight with my candy loving mind and stomach. Trust me when I say it's a fight! I only work this job once or maybe twice a week. The rest of the week I rarely touch candy. When I do go…

Perimenopause = weight gain???
Ok, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm 46 and soon to be 47 May 2nd. For the last few months, I've noticed my body changing, big time. I believe Perimenopause is kicking in and I'm not liking it. I've been dealing with sore boobs, cramps, barely spotting with periods and even waking up hot a couple of…

Strength Training Exercising
I workout just about everyday at Planet Fitness. I do the Arc Trainer for 30 minutes and take a walk on the treadmill for another 30 minutes. After my cardio workout, I hit the weight machines. Everyday I try to do 3 sets of 15 reps for each machine. Here is my question. I've heard mixed stories about how you shouldn't do…

Curious - Has anyone ever done Intermintent Fasting?
I was just watching my local noon news and they talked about Intermintent Fasting. A person eats "normally" for 5 days and on days 6 and 7 you fast only consuming water and tea. I just don't get this. As a food addict, I would be afraid of having a binge like no other. Granted I struggle with food, but what works for me is…

Caluculating exercise - help!
This morning I did a Leslie Sasone video. It was her 3 mile walk and strengthening workout. (Good workout by the way!) I have NO idea how to log it. Recommendations?

Not enough calories???
Ok, so here's the deal. I've lost almost 100 lbs and I did from eating right, less and exercising. As we all know, the heavier you are, the quicker it will come off - at first. For the last year I've struggled to lose more. Recently, I've been really trying to lose and I do, but not always or very little. I strive to lose…

Question for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hello all. I've had RA since 1996. Unfortunately, RA has held me back from doing many things I used to. However, since losing some weight, I'm gaining my strength and courage to perhaps try things I miss. One thing is riding a bike. I've tried riding spin bikes at the gym and they kill my knees. I've tried riding my sons…

Nutritional Yeast
Has anyone ever used this? If yes, what are the benefits? Calories, fiber, sodium, etc??? Oh and taste? I can't put yeast past bread or a beer!
