Starting again

[katters]

Hi, I'm new here online. I'm three stone overweight, have tried WW's RC, SW, desperate to lose weight, hoping I can stick to this plan. I've got Fibromyalgia, so find it difficult to exercise, has anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

Hi and welcome, katters

We have many members that also have fibromyalgia and I'm sure they'll be keen to give you advice and support and there's another community, here on Health Unlocked, specifically for sufferers

healthunlocked.com/fibromya...

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then 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.

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

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.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Hi Katters

Exercise is not the be all and end all of weight loss, especially when you are just starting.

They say that diet is 80% and exercise is 20% of your weight loss effort so 80% is definitely better than 0%!

I'd encourage you to take some time and think hard abut why your ther attempts have failed. Be honest with yourself and really try to dig into what the problems have been.

For me I realised that depression was the thing that was setting me up to fail and as long as that remained unaddressed I would continue to trip ove rmyself as far as my weight loss goes.

Once I finally found something that pretty much eradicated my depression (magnesium) I am now happily losing, easily saying no to rubbish and much happier generally.

GL - I know you can do this!
