Dear Ozzie, ((((((( HUGS )))))))

I just wanted YOU to know that I understand how you feel about the pain ones body feels when they have "F" or "RA" (like me) - I exercise for my health and not for my husbands eyes.... and lets face it - the men do not look as they once did either - lol.

But, back to my reason for replying.... while I can no longer exercise with weights or running due to my RA - I do use a exercise program that only involves your body as resistance w/ deep breathing.... This program is called BODY FLEX (check it out). I love this program, for while I do not always loose weight every month (due to my poor eating habits at times) this program still works to maintain me at the weight I am at... no more extra (extra weight extra weight) to be added to frame.
I lost 20 pounds back in Jan & Dec.... while eating right and doing the Body Flex program.

LoVe,
