Hi, I know what you mean about it being hard to lose weight when your are in constant pain and taking pain medication. I know, I not only have Fibro, but I have had two different Cervical surgeries and now the disc's in the lower back are starting to go, oh what fun. I also have trouble with both my shoulders. I've had the left on operated on a few years back and just found out that I've torn the labrum in two places on the right one. So I know how hard it is to want to work out, let alone getting up and actually doing it. I too need all the encouragement that I can get. There are many, many days that I would just like to sit in my bed and do nothing, but that won't help me lose weight.
