I suffer from fibromyalgia, and I'd like to support others and receive support since the fatigue and pain can often make weight loss a pretty tough endeavor! Glad to be giving this another try in 2016! Would love to make some great friends here.

    Hi! My name is Terra. I'm 32 and have had mild Fibromyalgia for 4 years or so. Ive gained about 40lbs in the past 2 years and really need a support group to help with getting back on the diet and exercise track. Im trying to start with 5 min on the elliptical every 2 days. Feel free to add me!

    I've had fibro since I was 14, so I grew up with pain that it seems somewhat normal for me. I'm relatively fit, so I don't get trigger point injections, but my knees and shoulders get it pretty bad.

    Felicity 54 from Australia, I've had fibro for a lot of years but the intensity and symptoms have increased dramatically over the last 12 months. Happy to help give support.
