Fibro friends can add me
I thought this might be the best way to add friends who understand what a challenge getting fit and losing weight can be when you have fibro. I'm a married mom of 4 who works full time and lives in Arkansas. Let me know who you are if you chose to add me. Thanks!

I just really need honest answers from people with fibromyalgia who have used it and what benefits they have noticed. Is it worth the expense? I"m not looking for it to…

When do you weigh yourself?

I figure if I like my heaviest number then I'd definitely like the lighter number. Of course right now I don't like either number but I will eventually!! So just wanted to…

GRE test - Graduate school
I just got my results back from the GRE. I was good in my writing, ok in the verbal section, but not so hot in the math section. :embarassed: I got a 153 verbal, 143 analytical, and 5.0 on writing.

Desk pedals - anyone use them?
I saw on Amazon one day while just browsing desk pedals that you can place under your desk and pedal while you work. Sounds a little crazy to me. :ohwell: I work in an office and know you really can't get a cardio workout with these but wonder if you can really burn some calories doing this or is it basically like shaking…

Healthy calories for a picky eater - help please! :)
I've got to find "healthy calories" to eat. My gym is at work and I'm doing "coaching" where a trainer talks to me about goals, answers questions, etc once a week. She told me I need to eat a MINIMUM of 1200 calories and that I need to eat more when I exercise so like when I burn 500 calories I need to eat 1700 that day. I…
