I was told many years ago by my chiropractor to try water aerobics. I have been doing it ever since. The water is so much easier on the muscles and joints. And it is also a great work out as well. I also try walking when I can. You don't have to go far but just moving yourself helps. And as far as eating is concerned I have my carbs and fruit in the morning and then protein, veggies and fruit for lunch and then just protein and veggies for dinner. I've lost 10 lbs so far. I enjoy eating salads and if I don't feel like making a salad I get the prepackaged already chopped up lettuce and Lean Cuisine makes Salad additions. it's everything you need except the lettuce. It's easy and it taste great.

@A MyFibroTeam Member One of the bad side effects of Lyrica is weight gain. you might ask your doctor what other options are available.

I always keep a few Stouffers frozen dinners.(my fav). Also, I found a "skinny bread" sandwich thins. They are made by ARNOLD and I think Weight Watchers has one, They are great for a quick sandwich with deli thin turkey. Mustard has 5 calories a teaspoon. We occasionally have homemade oatmeal at dinner. Raw veggies and a dip. You can do a lettuce and turkey roll -up, nuts, esp.almonds, boiled eggs. Edame and Sugar snap peas.

My grandfather used to joke that he was on the See diet. I see it, I eat it. That's my biggest problem with healthy eating- I don't mind taking the time to plan and prep, but the minute I walk by something tasty or if I have anything good sitting in the house it doesn't take long for me to cave.
