Default Re: Arthritis is a real NUISANCE!

Keetje, You are certainly not alone. I have been on this WOE since April and have lost about 20lbs about the same as you. Walking has deffinitely got easier plus I try and walk just a little each day. I walk on the beach with my dog or just wander around my garden.

I know what you mean about shoes. Don't it just make you feel "Old" I would love some heels or even pretty girlie shoes but no I have flat sandals, trainers and some really ugly things I wear when it rains. I have developed very thick ankles and calves so I rarely wear skirts unless they are long then the sandals don't really show.

I would say keep on walking, riding your bike is great but keep your ankles flex by walking otherwise I think you just sieze up.
