I find that when I really crave for something when I do actually get to eat it is I'm disappointed :(

I can't do push ups either so I do a plank instead. It's the best I can do :)

Fitness blender on you tube have a large variety of different workouts

I have done this before but wasn't eating so healthy so didn't really notice any physical benefits apart from feeling fitter just not thinner. Have lost a stone and am on the 5:2 fasting plan and now feel ready to give it another go to hopefully be able to see the benefits. At the time I found Level 3 the best and enjoyed…

Sorry if I offended anyone with this post. It is personal to me not intended to cause offence.

Haven't finished reading all the posts yet but thought I should add that I look at is as an obsession because I feel so guilty if I don't do it to the point of being really miserable. I am a single parent and work full time and don't have that much spare time so I constantly struggle with my conscience and I don't enjoy…

Just found this group and it consists of friends already. That is always a good start :)

That has to be the most frustrating part of FM, the time it takes to diagnose. It took 10 years for me, prior to this I had never heard of it.

I have FM alone too, luckily, I think after hearing from other people. It is starting to become a pattern now. I am lucky in the the sense that I only have pain flare ups every 2 years between Dec and April. The rest of the time it is manageable problems like nasal drip, migraines, tiredness, fog that kind of thing. I…

I'm having a bad weekend. Having a major flare up and not been able to control it yet with medication. Been working out for the last 5-6 months and have been fine but struggling right now. Can't do anything. I know that this flare will pass in a week or two but hate being in the midst of it. I'm amazed at the different…

Hi Daisy. I live in East Anglia. Have found this web site so supportive so feel free to add me, can never have too many friends :) Shelly

I also have FM and am having a major flare up as we speak. Haven't had a chance to read all the posts yet but feel free to add me. Maybe we should consider setting a Fibro group up. Shelly

I'm coming up to 40 in May and was hoping to be fit for forty. Feel free to add me :) Shelly

Lidl do some great porridge oats and they only cost about 50p for a bag I have 50g with water and a small spoon of Canderel. 186 cals for the oats which I think is great.

Highly recommend Fitness Blender, plenty of variety.

Hi there, I'm from East Anglia. Feel free to add :smile:

Bump for later :)

I agree with the Fitness Blender comments. Loads of vids.

I can't go to the gym as it isn't open the time that I want to work out but there is so much available without having to go. I totally agree. Plenty on You Tube to keep it varied. Admittedly you don't have the support from trainers at the gym but that is what MFP is for. I've learnt a lot from here.

You Go Girl. I'll send you a request. We need all the friends we can get to keep us motivated :)

But I'm only little! Should you not start light and work up? Will check out google though. Thanks

I'm starting over again. Only had 2 weeks off over Christmas after working out for 4 months, didn't think it was working but realise now that it must have been after having Christmas off, feel really unfit. Feel free to add me :)

Help!!!

Must add it was this post I could have written as the original post includes a hubby, not got one of those :)

I could have written this post lol

Wow you are all so inspiring. I was 137.5lbs about 4 months ago, not really lost anything from working out 5 times a week and eating fairly healthy. Have put on 6lb over Christmas by eating just what I wanted and now that I have more to lose I'm hoping it might be easier. I must notice a change when I start to watch what I…

I would like to join if there a space available :)

Just had a thought, following this advise. I have worked out my daily allowance. Do I need to eat back my workout calories or has that already been taken into account?

Brilliant post. Thanks for making it simple. Have previous worked out my numbers but as I put on 6lbs over Christmas recalculated my numbers and looking forward to getting back into it again. Need to work my way up with weights though, was only on 1.lb, got a way to go yet :)

Fitness blender workouts on you tube are very good.
