[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 185107, member: 19121"] Hi kareeta, like you I have degenerative arthritis mine is in the lower back (spondylitis) and I am unable to do any exercise, even walking is hard most days although I do try and get out if only to walk round Tesco :lol: And in answer to to your question [i]"Is it even possible to lose weight without high impact exercising?"[/i] Yes definitely, I lost a little over 4 stone by cutting back on carbohydrates and eating less generally. Arthritis is not the end of the world either, I spent two days on the Isle Of Wight last week and my wife dragged me round Osboune House, a 1 1/2 guided tour and the next day Carisbrook Castle where I managed to walk up the 90 stone stairs to the Keep. I haven't managed to do much since mind but I did walk the dog today and jet wash by back garden path, so though I dont do any exercise I do keep active. The 90 steps up to the castle keep [img]http://www.acecreative.co.uk/diabetes/90steps.jpg[/img] I quite surprised myself in getting up and down these on top of all the other walking we did :D [/QUOTE]
