Hi, I've had fibro for at least 36 and a half yrs, since the birth of my son.. Over the years it has gotten worse & worse. About 2 years ago my doctor told me I needed to lose weight.. So it took me one yr to lose about 40 lbs. I just do walking, can't handle any other exercises.. Now I am trying to lose 5 more pounds, but…

Hi, I am 58 yrs old and I lost 40 lbs in one year by walking outside & using Leslie Sansone walking dvd's... Now I am just trying to maintain my weight & possibly loosing a couple more pounds.. I started out at 183 and today when I weighed myself I was 145 lbs.

I am 57 yrs old and weigh 145 lbs..I am 5' 7.5".. I wouldn't mind being 140 lbs but the scale is being stubborn :) I was 183 lbs and I lost close to 40 lbs. I can wear a size 10 instead of a squeezed into size 14 and that makes me happy...

I take Celexa (which I read online that causes weight gain), Trazadone, and Flexeral.. I admit I did gain about 40 pounds since I started taking it, but I also ate the wrong things.. From last February (2012) to now I have lost the 40 pounds with eating better and walking.. And I don't want to ever go back to what I was..…

I have a Kitchen Aid blender, also and I love it!!

I take Celexa, which I read makes you gain weight.. I also have fibromyalgia.. With a lot of determination and eating right with exercise (walking) in one year I have lost over 33 lbs.. It was hard but it can be done :)

I am 57 yrs old and I have fibro and I've had it for quite a long time. A year and a half ago I didn't have enough energy and my pain was really bad. My doctor told me I had to lose some weight last February. I weighed 182 lbs and I am 5'7.5". I started walking slowly, and then found Leslie Sansone dvds (she does inside…

Very nice work, proud of you!!!!

You are doing great and you look great!! I know how fibromyalgia can slow you down some ( I also have it) but it is amazing that when you do start to eat right and exercise that you don't get the symptoms as bad as before.. I have lost 33 lbs. and feel better and look better than I did in a long time.. Congratulations for…

I lost 33 lbs. doing long walks...

Hi, I just put in how many minutes I do using Leslie's dvd and put it under low impact aroebics(?), also under 4.0 walking is the same amount of calories..

Bump!! Sounds awesome!!

Me too!!

I have been on mfp for about 310 days and I have lost 30 lbs so far.. I've had fibro for almost 35 yrs. It started out slowly and became worse about 10 yrs ago.. I finally just got tired of looking at myself in the mirror, and decided last February at the beginning of Lent to give up chocolate and sugary items.. Then in…

I just turned 57 yrs old in January, I have lost close to 30 in since last February, but I still need to lose about 10 more lbs... Add me if you want to.. I try my best to encourage..

I take Celexa for anxiety and depression, and I take vallium at night if I'm feel anxious.. I gained a little over 30 lbs. but some of it was bad choices in food.. I have almost lost the weight I gain and I am still taking the drugs.. I am 57 yro and if I can lose the weight I think anyone can.. I also have fibromyalgia…

I take Celexa and Trazadone and had gained a good 30 pounds from taking them.. But I have lost almost 29 pounds by just walking and using the Leslie Sansone power 5 mile walk.. I also eat a lot healthier than I did.. Even when I don't feel like exercising I try to do at least some. Can't wait until Spring so I can walk…

Yes, we all have choices and no one can make it for you.. But in my view you only have the choice between heaven and hell. Jesus or Satan... Make the right choice..

I like the 5 mile fat burning walk.. I usually either do 3 miles or go and do all 5 miles.. I really like doing them.. I also walk on my treadmill.. But the dvd is less boring :)

Sounds sooo good, I'll have to try it!!!

35 yrs ago I craved liver sausage and onion and chocolate ice cream.. Not all together, but it I would have thought of it,, I might have. lol

I am 5'7.5" and on the treadmill the fastest I can walk is 3.5.. I would have to jog at 4.0.. When I walk outside I usually walk 3.3 and that seems the fastest I can seem to walk.. I would really love to job but every time I try the fronts of my legs start hurting.. Maybe I should just take it slower..

I just did the 3 mile one and boy could I feel it.. It was great :):smile:

I am 5' 7.5" and I weigh between 153 and 155 lbs.. I was 179 lbs in February, and was a tight size 14.. Now I can wear size 12, but I would like to weigh about 140 to 145 lbs.. Never give up!!!:happy:

It is possible.. Just start out slow. I am 56 yrs old and I have fibromyalgia and I just walked 5 miles today.. I started out walking about 20 minutes to begin with (I started walking in April) and now I can do 5 miles, but it does tire me out the next day. I usually will walk anywhere between 2 to 3 miles when I walk…

The Tigers (yay) and the Yankees (boo) ...

bump ;)

I lost 20 lbs. from February of this year to now.. And it's all from walking and eating right.. I think you can do it!!!

I have the itouch 3 and I really like that.. But if someone was to offer to buy me a 5 I'd take it :)
