Chronic illness sufferer, busy nursing student, ready for a change

Hello!
My name is Madison, I'm 21 years old and on a mission to lose 30 pounds and gain a healthy lifestyle.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome and some other ailments that are still under investigation. I've spent my fair time in hospitals and am always taking it day by day. Although I'm relatively at peace with all of my medical problems, I find it hard to motivate myself past the pain and workout, and I am certainly not at peace with my body.
I'm looking for motivating friends in general, chronic illnesses or not. I'm also a nursing student, and a midwife assistant so I'm plenty busy learning and delivering babies!
Please feel free to add me or message me! I'm all about sharing encouragement :)

    I have chronic illnesses too so I can relate. It can be frustrating when you want to workout but your body is calling the shots. I'm on everyday. Feel free to add me!
