Curious

Hi everyone, hope all have had a good day. Just wondered if anyone has a similar query. I have pritty bad arthritis in several places also fibromyalgia. Was wondering if my joints and surrounding areas hold fluid around. I ask as my weight can vary from one day to the next by as much as 2/3lbs. 🤔

Any illness or inflammation can add pounds, my weight varies a lot day to day, it’s not fat but fluid 😊. If you are sticking to plan then you will be losing fat

Thanks for info IndigoBlue61. I’ve cut out all sugar and chocolate, only eat sugar free sweets and the odd rich tea or gingernut so hopefully when fluid subsides I’ll have lost a good bit 🤗

Chrissie you might find this interesting

Well done for almost cutting out the sugar. I am sure that that will make a difference. Just be aware that white carbs turn to sugar when eaten as well,

Here is another link that you might find interesting, sorry if you have been given this already,

Wishing you good luck

Hi Lucigret

A big thank you for your message and the links. The best of which was the healthunlocked one. It really explains about insulin etc 🤗 thanks again 🙂

You're very welcome, I'm glad you have had time to read them and that they have helped to explain things.

I hope that you will find plenty to join in with here. Have you joined a weigh in yet ?

[CHRISSIE21 in reply to lucigret]

I use the Tuesday weigh in when I can but today I’ve had hospital appointments and lots more besides so I have not done so this week. Too much going on at the moment and weight is all over the place. Thanks again for your help🙂
