It is OK to be satisfied with who you are as a person. Having a good self-esteem is important. Look at your dieting as getting healthy for yourself. I am not doing this for anyone else but me. I want to be healthy. That will benefit my family, most definitely, but it will not make them love me any more or less.

So I have now lost 7 lbs :bigsmile: I am totally thrilled. I am able to ride my stationary bike for 20 :happy: minutes and am going to try for 30 min each night this week. I don't like riding it bc I get so sore...but I am pushing through!!! :grumble: It will so be worth it when I can keep up with my 6 year old!!!

pay attention to what I was eating and began to exercise (which is hard bc of my FMS) but in 1 week...I have lost 6 LBS!!!! :happy: I know it won't always be this easy, but I am so excited and encouraged!!!

Thanks for all those wonderful suggestions. I got on my stationary bike last night for about 10 min and then walked around my building at work for 15 min today. :happy: Now I am getting on my bike again tonight!!

Other than stretching, what types of exercise would be good for someone who suffers from FMS? I have to be careful bc I tire easily and even the simplest of workouts makes me feel like I have been hit by a truck the next day. My joints also get sore pretty easily. Help!!

I am so watching it. I wish I could have Jillian as a trainer...she rocks!!

Hi, my name is Pam...I am new. This weekend is my 20th high school reunion...when I left high school, I weighed 125 lbs. 20 years, 4 kids and a diagnosis of fibromyalgia later, I weigh 264 lbs. I don't care so much what the high school people think...mostly bc I am still close with my BFF's and they love and support me.…
