Women: young, arthritis, fatigue, exercising, and overweight w/no results?

I'm 29 years old and was an active person until about 4 years ago. I've been diagosed w/ Lupus and Rhematoid Arthritis now just Mild Arthritis in my shoulders, back, arms, knees and ankles. My blood tests now do not show what they did years past but through moving a new doctor says basically I'm just fat and need to lose weight. I'm 5'10 and about 25lbs over my BMI normal range. I admit I'm overweight but I'm trying, I've been exercising (on days it's not too cold) but even then I walk on the treadmil (can't run have no balance-get dizzy), get on exercise bike and lift weights for an hour. I'm watching what I eat, 100% whole wheat bread, vegetables, lots of protein, water-no sodas; do have lots of stress thought -ADHD child, deployed husband; any one been/going through the same any suggestions on exercises, meals, life changes?
Do diet pills, Thank you

i am also overweight, but a little older than you with 3 kids.
i tried everything to lose the weight and was having a very difficult time. my joints hurt, it was hard to breathe at times and i was always tired.

my doctor tested my thyroid (a simple blood test) and discovered that i have hypothyroid disorder (this slows your motabolism down)

now i take one small pill a day and exercise a little, and try to watch what i eat and the pounds are just melting away.....about at the rate of 5 or more pounds a month.

i have more energy and feel great!

so, i would suggest asking your doctor about testing your thyroid and also about depression as your description sounds like it could be either one or possibly something else.

dont settle for only getting your syptoms treated, you need to find out what is the underlying cause of your symptoms.

good luck to you
