Hello everyone!
Just as a little background... I used to be 120lbs 5 years ago-played sports generally very active. In 10th grade of high school I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I had had pain in the past, but it suddenly became very severe. I was forced to quit both basketball and soccer, and even things like bicycling became difficult. Since then I have been quite inactive although I do walk daily, but I also became depressed and started eating poorly. Now I am a junior in college but 165lbs. I have a small body frame and pear shape weight gain so this looks bad!! For a year and a half I have been on a new medication for my arthritis that has helped A LOT. I feel that I am finally ready to start being healthy again as much as I can with proper diet and exercise! My self confidence is awful and I REALLY want to change that, so I hope joining this site will be inspiring and informative.
