Anyone else here want to lose weight but have health problems that limit what exercises they can do?
I'm a vegetarian and a picky eater and hate to cook. I can bake if I have to.
I have other things too but what gives me the limitation is fibromyalgia. Up till I got it about 4 years ago I never had to worry about what I ate. I wasn't a fanatic but did exercise regularly and could do aerobics. Now I can do limited water aerobics. I can do some other exercises that are leg movements and no jumping. Using any repetitive movements of the arms causes pain. Activities like sweeping and vacuuming send me into a flare up of burning pain.
I've gained weight since getting Fibro yet don't want that to continue. If I have to accept that I can't get back to pre-fibro weight, I'll live with that but I won't keep gaining and do want to lose some.
Just wanted to introduce myself.
