i lost 20lbs then found 10 over the holidays ,, now im trying again because i have a big trip planned in june. i use an app on my phone and log all my food ,, the app i like is MyNetDiary but im sure there are any number of them out there. This app also has a scanner so i can scan bar codes of packaged food.. i weigh my food. I started with a comfortable number of calories for me 1,700 because i weigh 195. you should eat 100 calroies for every 10 lbs of weight ie. i want to weight 170 lbs (easy start) so i will eat 1700 calories ,, go easy on yourself ,, you'll have setbacks of course ,, but over time it all adds up

I have lost over 120 lbs. Hardest yet the best thing I have even done. It took 4 years to get it off and I have kept it off. Just recently I have begun to lose a few more pounds. First and foremost they diagnosed me with thyroid problems, supposedly part of this disease we all have. Then my neurologist put me on a No White, No Bread, No Fried, No Sweet Diet. No rice, potatoes, nothing fried, no soda's, no breads of any kind, no tortillla's, no desserts, no fruits, drink half your weight in water per day. I was 295 pounds got down to 175. Yes I had a cheat day every couple weeks. I had grilled chicken, grilled fish, lots of steamed veges, no butter, but I did use lemon juice squeezed on them, After I lost the first 50#, I started walking some, around the block when I felt up to it, not fast, just to get moving some.

I lost the weight BEFORE being diagnosed. I was in the greatest health, then dr. Changed my prescription, stopped my nerves and here I lay in pain. I do swim and walk. Was definitely until this latest cold snap. Feel totally immobilized.

I cheated. Not sure yet what’s causing it but I’ve been nauseated since September. Worst way to lose 30 pounds EVER

Thank you all. I do feel your pain. I was also in great shape before I got all these Fibromyalgia pains. What used to be a 4 times a week work out became twice a month or whenever I am able to because of the pain. I know I will have to eat better so I can lose even if I can hardly move sometimes. Good points from @SaraNuttalHol and @A MyFibroTeam Member.
