Hi, welcome to this group, having fibro is really difficult as people and even medical professionals do not seem to understand the symptoms, causes and what it's like to live with this illness. I think it's ironic just how many people who got fit and did regular exercise have got fibro. I have only just returned to this…

A late reply to your post as I've been quite unwell for the past month or so with my fibro. I used to work, loved it,happy but was pushed too hard and did far too much and did everything at a thousand miles and hour! The fibro has stopped me working and I do really miss it, but he supprt on this site has been a great help…

Welcome to MFP! It's one big happy family and we all have/had large butts to get rid of so you are in good company :laugh:

I think you're doing great, feel free to add me if you like

I'm in please, like so many others I do really well during the day, but in the evening I'm looking for something even if I feel full. My head is in the cupboards, the fridge, the freezer in fact anywhere where there's food. I'm a sucker for toast, ice cream or custard I do get confused though. If I have calories left out…

Welcome, the best thing I did was join this site. I have friends of all ages in more than one country. They have been there with me through the good and the bad. The encouragement & support I have had on bad days (Ihave fibromyalgia amongst other things) has helped me a lot. You are welcome to add me as a friend if you…

My boobs:mad: Why do we lose our boobs? I had lovely boobs, I actually loved my boobs I miss my boobs I also lost my round tummy and I really do have jaw ones & cheek bones!:smile:

It's good to swap ideas about food,exercise and this illness. Like most of you ladies I've gained weight which doesn't help with the fibro. I have tried several diets that are published here in the UK and so far they haven't helped. Like janstacey I would like to take a lot fewer meds as the side effects give me a lot more…

I was a veggie for about 15+ years but started to eat seafood last year to boost my proteing. Anyone can add me

Hi, Add me as a friend, I'll help:smile:

Thanks Just did the calculationsand I'm not eating enough calories. It's scary to think of eating MORE?! For years I've been eating a lot less. Think I'm afraid of putting weight back on after all o the hard work it took to lose it. I assume that this does work for everyone - no exceptions?

Sorry if I'm a bit thick......... what's BMR ?

I'm in Derbyshire and was only introduced to the site a couple of days ago. I wasn't sure if there were many people rom the UK, but obviously there are! I think we all need help,support and a little motivation at times - I know I do. Feel free to add me, I will help if I can.

There are times when most of us cry about ourweight - unless you are one of those weird naturally skinny people! You have a wonderful baby and time will show that your weight will go. Its a fact that its far easier to put on weight in a short space of time and it always takes longer to lose those pounds. I lost almost 3…
