Ready to start

I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and I'm changing my diet to get as healthy as I can and to lose weight in a healthy way. Start tomorrow .

Good luck - keep posting so you can get support and keep motivated. If I was not on here posting I would be looking to see what I can find to eat - so definitely helping me

Hello Hidden and welcome to the weight loss forum ☺ You have taken the first step towards a healthier you.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you ☺

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news ☺

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for ☺

Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate ☺

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page ☺

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you may have a 'Newbie' badge. If you have any questions or would like a Newbie badge please just ask ☺

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too ☺

Best wishes

Anna

I too have Fibromyalgia and sle Lupus and a few other bits but have found organic food make a huge difference and making sure you filter and boil your water... it really helps... malic acid has recently had some press on help with fibro as well found in apples... Big welcome to the group and good luck with your journey..

Hi lornas! I'm a member of a Fibro group locally to me. Most of us have found that going gluten free is a huge help! Lactose also provides me when full fat!

It's a good idea to search for diets with chronic pain and fatigue! Good luck!
