Default Hi there

I'm Riah. I'm a 21-yr-old college student, and I'm at 198 lbs, trying to lose a grand total of 63 lbs so I can go back to the 135 lbs I was in high school. (Where would I go for this, by the way? Featherweights? Or somewhere else?)

This isn't purely a cosmetic weight loss...I was diagnosed a couple years ago with Fibromyalgia, and the weight gain has been hard on me, making the pain worse even while it really stifles my ability to work out on a regular basis. But I'm going to try to push through the pain and get myself to better weight so that the pain from the Fibro will hopefully lessen.

It's hard to find support, especially when I seem to be perfectly healthy and people ask, "Why don't you just go work out?" They don't seem to understand the specific problems I have, and I hope that you all will be able to understand and help me on my way.

Welcome Riah! If you look under dieting with obstacles, there are support threads for those with fibromyalgia. Best of luck to you!
