You are an INSPIRATION!!! I weigh the same as you do now but you look much better because you have been exercising and are toned and healthy. I wanna be like you when I grow up! ;)

I actually need to start a routine! What helps to get going on a regular routine? Any suggestions?

My dear friend, I remember how hard it was on you when your mom died. I had all these plans of eating right, exercising and becoming healthier once my very ill daughter died but instead I've only gained more weight. 10 pounds in the last two years since Jess passed and I know that doesn't sound like much but I've been…

I hate that quote "It's all in your head" because it's demeaning. Just because you don't have a thyroid problem or other medical problem doesn't mean you don't need treatment and that it's not important. I've suffered from depression my whole life and like you, it's worse in the winter. It's actually quite common to have…

I suffer from depression and it is usually worse in the winter for me. I've struggled with it all my life and am on medication for it. I finally have a GOOD primary care doctor who is compassionate towards me and truly cares as to whether I'm feeling good or not. I've dealt with too many doctors who don't seem to care. I…

Thank you ladies, I appreciate the recommendations and hope that you all are doing well. I also appreciate the stories of success. I just need to keep going and not give up. For those interested, Rainybu gave me a link to a video that a doctor made doing some stretches that are good for all types of health issues but…

This is a great question - I'm really showing the flab due to lack of exercise and illness for many years. I can't do much at the moment but I want to start. Do any of you know of a free website with practical toning exercises for a beginner? I would appreciate it as would the person who started this thread, I'm sure.…

Welcome to mfp. I also really suffer from pain, fatigue and depression. I changed doctors this past week and we are going to try a few different things with meds, only changing one thing at a time so we know if I have an adverse reaction we'll know which medication caused it. It's too bad that you broke your heel OWIE!!!…

I've been told by several doctors that aqua therapy and doing exercises on the pool is the best thing for arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have both osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and have seen several different doctors over the years and all have confirmed it. I am looking into going to an indoor pool through our parks &…

What good advice. I feel "overwhelmed" frequently and the advice given about those feelings is really good. Thank you for sharing.

You are awesome! Amazing! Now that you got through the surgeries and chemo you don't want this horrible disease to make it's way back into your life. You are determined and I admire you for it! I'm new here too and have just started tracking what I eat. I've learned a lot in just the past few days about the fat, calories,…

Hello fellow fibromyalgians. Is that a word? lol I was diagnosed with fibro in 1995 not long after my 4th (and last) baby was born and was told that I probably had it for at least 5 years or more. My 2nd baby, my only girl, was born in 1988 with multiple, severe CHD (congenital heart defects). She underwent 5 heart…

I'm in! Do we post here what our weight loss is for the week? Do you want the amount we weigh too? I'm new here so please let me know how it works. I just started here for I only have one weigh in so far. Thanks!

I can definitely see a difference in your photos. Have you been taking measurements? I need to do that... I'm a BEFORE right now since I just started my weight loss journey. I'm sure your clothes fit differently and I bet you feel healthier and have more energy. Many years ago I lost 30 lbs and I went by what I felt, not…

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Instead of being here and at WW only until you reach goal... think of it as a lifestyle change. I lost weight at WW but after I reached goal I didn't go back... I not only regained all the weight but much more. I had reached lifetime status which means that I don't ever have to…

I didn't realize that craving carbs was a sign of being over tired! That sure explains a LOT! I crave carbs every night... part of it is habit but I just realized that I am usually really tired when my craving is at it's highest, like tonight. Thank you for this information. One of my goals is to get more sleep and your…
