Aloha!
Hi there!
I'm Mahina Lani, although most just call me Lani as the full name is a bit of a mouthful!
I'm pretty rubbish at talking about myself, but here goes:
For the past 6 or so years I've suffered with M.E and severe fibromyalgia (FMS). I'd had the symptoms for longer than that (since my teens really), but a nasty accident in 2003 made everything worse.
The reason I'm here is because both illnesses have made me gain weight due to being so easily exhausted by even the simplest things and even walking to the end of the road puts me in bed for a few days with exhaustion and severe pains.
So, I decided about a month ago that I was sick of being overweight. I hate how I look, how I feel and I miss being a nice curvy 16 (heck, being a 14 would be nice, but I'm not that ambitious!)
I've started with a Low GI diet plan, with elements of low carb dieting slotted in (the low carb element is because I was slightly addicted to potatoes, bread, etc... and bread really bloats me!)
I've been on this diet for a week now and although I'm not noticing much different, I have lost an inch from my waist, so yay!
Anyway, that's enough of my rambling, lol.
I'm looking forward to posting and getting to know everyone!
