My local support group is awesome!! Find one near you!
As for exercise I would ask your doc to prescribe PT to assess what you need to be working on. The PT is trained and will help you not overdo it!
I don't know what meds you are on, but some will cause weight gain. I would ask the doc to assess how much, if any, you really need to lose!
Look at both NationalMS society and MS Foundation!!! They are GREAT resources!!!

For some people, exercise causes MS to flare up, so suitable exercise varies from person-to-person. A good rule to follow is to slowly build up your exercise to find when or if it causes problems, and then come up with a long-term plan based on your tolerance. Try to pick some type of exercise you enjoy (or at least hate the least). Walking or bike riding are good outdoor activities when the weather is nice. For indoor activities, swimming, stationary bike, treadmill, aerobics class, and dancing, are all good choices.
People swear by all sorts of supplements, but there is no logical or scientific reason why most supplements would make a difference. Only glucosamine supplements have been shown to actually help.
The MS Society is a great place to meet others with MS - they have local chapters in many locations.

It is important to find exercise that does not raise your core body temperature because that can cause MS symptoms. Water exercise and yoga are good.
There always been a lot of talk about the Swank and McDougal diets to help MS, but I have never tried them.
