I started a little over a week ago at the urging of my son and his wife who are on here. I like the accountability although recording is a bit of a "pain" :-)
I am disabled with fibromyalgia and back and joint problems so it does create some challenges in doing exercise, but I am finding a few things I can do. One of my biggest problems is actually in eating Enough. In 9 days I have yet to hit my calorie goal and got "scolded" once by MFP for my low calorie count. So, besides finding others with chronic pain issues, I am looking for others with the same issue of trying to eat enough and keep it nutritious.

That sounds like a good problem to have.... I wish I had that problem. Try doubling up on everything you're currently eating. That's the easiest short term solution. Next step is incorporating variety to your diet. GL0

You'd think so, but it's not really. Too low a calorie puts your body in starvation mode and it wants to hold on to everything it can, which makes it hard to lose weight. I had to increase my calories before I could lose. I was eating 800 or less calories a day.0
