Hi!! I am new to MFP...started on Monday!! I am excited to start my new "weight loss journey"!!! Looking or should I say needing to lose around 50lbs. Wanting to be thinner & healthier!! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 9 months ago & I'm hoping that losing some weight will help ease some of the pain I experience. Plus too, at 5'1 & 181lbs - I am way overweight. Hoping I do well on here!! :-)

    Welcome. Sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia. I hear some of the meds for that can pack a lot of weight on a person. It happened to one of my friends. But i am sure this site can help :)

    Welcome aboard, Kristi!
    Fibromyalgia is very challenging to cope with, so I'm hoping your journey will bring you to a point of far less pain.
    I'm definitely here to be a part of your support team!!

    Welcome, Kristi!

    My cousin has had fibromyalgia for about ten years now, and taking some weight off did help her get through the day easier. This site is FANTASTIC! The friends I have made here are very supportive and encouraging. They somehow manage to lift me up every single day.

    Feel free to friend request me, and I'll do my best to support your journey! Best of luck to you!
