I need to lose about 10kgs as I am in the obese cartegory and also suffer from arthritis. So, thught it was time to do something about it and to try to lessen any future strain on my joints. I would appreciate any support and tips along the way.

Well done for joining the forum, that is a great first step. Have you looked at the NHS 12 week plan? That is about re-educating yourself to eat healthily.
Hi Marie
I'm in the same situation. I have RA and need to lose weight, and oddly it's about 10 kilos!
I thought about doing the 5:2, but I can't be that hungry (I've tried it a few times), so I'm doing a calorie restrictive diet, healthy eating, gluten free (as I'm coeliac too). Oh, and I've taking up active walking of my dogs. Before we'd stroll and meander on a short walk, now we walk further and I make sure I power walk for part of it (I did try running but it's a bit much on the joints yet). Both dogs were getting fat, and they're already looking better for it.
Have you thought about your plan of action?
