Hi, I wanted to know if it is really difficult tO lose weight with RA. I know that being less heavy does help with RA but I don't know how to start that process.I have been diagnosed relatively young at 27 and bbeen on Cymbalta and Penetrix. I also take fish oil and olive oil but I tend to overeat sometimes especially on chips. I have never really gone to the gym but I would like to be more active. But I dont know with this condition, what do i do?

Hi @achy38

How are you today?

Losing weight is always a struggle, it has to do with calories and physical exercise. But let me tag a few members who can offer their personal experiences with RA and weight loss.

Did you find that your weight affects your RA? Did you try to lose weight with RA? What it more challenging? What tips/advice can you offer?

Take care,
