Fibromyalgia and Syndrome X

[jody]

Hello, my name is Jody and I am 37 years old. I am married but no children unless you count my 5 furry ones (3 dogs & 2 cats). I have been battling this weight loss thing most of my life. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1995 and just recently diagnosed with this new thing called Syndrome X which is a form of insuling resistance. This is related the Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.

All of the above make it very difficult to lose the 100 extra pounds I have accumulated on my 5'5" body.:( I am new to this forum and hoping to find some support from others with like problems. The fibro makes is difficult to exercise regularly because of the fatigue and pain.:mad: The pcos and insulin resistance make it difficult to lose weight because of the way my body deals with insulin.:mad:

I have recently seen a dietitian and was told to begin a diet using the glycemic index. Has anyone else ever heard of or tried this?:?:

I would very much enjoy corresponding with others with any of my conditions and welcome any advice.:) I hope to hear from some of you soon.

All be well and best of luck in your fitness efforts.

Sincerely,
Jody:)
