Does Anyone Else Find It Difficult To Lose Weight With Fybromyailgia
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I found it difficult as when I'm not having a really bad flare up i get out and do a 15 or 30 mins walk with the dog, I managed to lose 10lbs but then get another flare up that lasts for week's and the weight goes back on!! Lol even more difficult with the menopause going on 😵‍💫 xxx

yes, I have been trying. Only thing is when fybro was in the early stages I was walking a lot and dancing nightly with my husband.
Lyrica will gain weight, some antidepressants gain weight. Both I am on.
Something about flares where I gain weight also. Of at least my body gains weight.
I am working on eating 3 meals a day and 2 healthy snacks. I have been a grazer I snack all day but I really do not eat much. Maybe I was grazing too much and not aware of it.

I am also in Taking Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS)- it cost about $50.00 online for the year. now they are probably doing meetings. A good group here at the meetings. But I got too ill to go. Online is good, also. International.

Also there is Weight WAtchers, more expensive, but something to try.

I do not think I have lost the weight that I wanted to on TOPs online but I have not gained any weight since I signed up over a year ago.
All the above are suggestions only. There are many great programs out there.

thinking of you at this time. christine

I love popcorn....

that picture is hilarious,,, Yes it definately takes longer but that is just an aging and metabolism issue,, all the older people i know have the same problem and they dont have fibro ,, consistency is the key,, i can watch the scale not move for weeks then all of a sudden it will just drop 3 or 4 lbs,, just keep swimming as Dori would say,, you will see the change,,

Totally agree with you didgens about age and metabolism but so much more of a struggle for anyone who suffers from the pain! I do find quite often i lose but then it all goes back on if I get a flare up that can last for week's. Then back to square one 🤦
Lol glad you liked the picture 😂xxx
