Hello everyone, nice to meet you!

My name is Amy. I live in Alabama, and I am looking to lose about 40 lbs.

I have Fibromyalgia, so exercising can be a challenge for me.

I hope to meet all of you soon!

Hi Amy how are you? ^^ Welcome to the forums and remember that we will always be here for support and motivation.

Thanks! Also, congrats on your success so far.

Hi Amy,
I am new here as well. It was thought for years that I had fibro. The last several years the docs thought it was some form of arthritis. Six months ago I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. I finally am on some meds that help and have started on this weightloss journey.

There are days that I am too stiff to exercise, but I try my best. I used to think that the little efforts were not enough to make a difference, so I didn't try. I now try and look at things from the perspective that every little bit helps and if I can only exercise for 10 min, that is 10 to the good!

Hope to see you here again,
Julie
