Hi, my name is Beth. I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease and migraines. I had a spinal lumbar fusion and haven't been the same since. I've had a long absence from myfitnesspal since my surgery and lost most of the people I communicated with. Now I'm starting over weighing more then my orginal…

I've fallen off the wagon and gained more weight than I was when I previously started. I've started back again and really made some major changes. I didn't change my weight when I came back I just waited until my weight was the same when I last logged. I've lost around 50 pounds and can see the difference in my health.

After a couple of months I really like the fact that I can hold myself accountable for everything I eat. Also knowing if I stick to it I will loose the weight and be healthier.

Take it day by day. Results don’t come overnight. Change doesn’t happen immediately. Keep working towards your goals.

When you weigh yourself first thing in the morning your always lighter. Getting dressed and drinking or eating will cause your weight to fluctuate. Scales also can be different. Are you using the same type of scale as the doctor office? Don’t let it get you down because two pounds don’t make a big difference. I lost two…
