Hello, I am in SE Texas, and have Fibromyalgia, Osteo-Arthritis, nerve damage and diabetes. I seen a lot of positive post on your group, so I joined. I retired from working 13 months ago and have gained 60 pounds. My job was highly active and I just couldn't do it any longer. I am looking for some exercise I can do, even though I am in pain daily! While my weight was down, my diabetes was well under control, but I'm having blood sugar levels near 300 again "it should be 120-180, for those that don't know". Anyhow, I am looking forward to helping and getting help, but most of all support from others who understand how hard it is to lose weight when everything hurts! My name is Laurie, my nickname is Lollie.

    I also have Fibromyalgia and was told that water exercises are really good. I started attending aqua class at the gym and it really is starting to help. I was also told that lifting weights with the machines are good and walking.
