Well guys I'm afraid to say that due to flares up leading to steroid injections I am not on target to lose the 21 pounds intend and have therefore decided to extend my weight loss period to 14 May 2013 but also up my weight loss to 28 pounds (2 stone). I'm hoping that you'll all still support me on this x

Thanks for visitng my page. 

As most of you know I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) which is a condition that affects the immune system - not your joints.  Your immune system turns against you and attacks the LINING of your joints causing the lining to oversecrete the vital fluid into your joints each day and this results in swelling which causes the pain in RA.

One of the things that helps, other than daily/weekly medication, is steroid injections but unfortunately this gives you a mammoth appetite for any foods at all and as a result I have managed to put on a considerable amount of weight. 

So I am now determined to get this extra weight off and also to help the Research further so decided what better way to do that than to get sponsored to lose it.  So from Monday 14th May 2012 for a 6 month period I intend to lose at least 21 pounds in weight.

So please dig deep and help me to reach my goal and help others too and donate now.

Thank you all.
