For the last two weeks I have been putting on weight only a couple of lbs but :( I hate it. It's because I am in a Fibro flare. I am working on getting my activity level back up again and I am drinking water but I would love to know how other's fight past the pain and frustration..

    I have fibromyalgia, however it seems i loose weight when im not flaring, im a yoyo dieter, i loose a bunch and then gain a bunch! I can work out when i dont flare to! Ive been good for a few yrs now! I really have no advice, i kinda went with it.... Sometimes i couldnt even walk. But if walking is all u can do, do it! Do u battle depression to? With it?

    Been living with it most of my life. Yeah, it would be nice to be able to do more strenuous activity without paying so dearly for it, but as long as you can still walk you can improve your health and lose weight. You just have to take yourself in hand and not feel sorry for yourself.

    I was able to lose weight with strict calorie counting, portion control, etc. I can walk, so I walked as hard as I could.

    I am in a bad flare, but I am keeping my step counts up this week. I am adding more water and trying to keep moving. I have been "stuck" for a couple of months and I am getting discouraged. I know this is not going to stop me but the pain is keeping me from being productive
