Melissa posted a blog postHappy Friday Anyone?
Can you imagine my total surpise when I went to the doctor today and not only had I NOT lost any weight but I actually gained a couple pounds? I cannot say I was in shock but I was irritated by this. The Zone diet ... no white flour products, no white anything ... basically if it is white, don't eat it. Except egg whites and yogurt :-)I have been reading up on this and found out recently that my neighbor is a fitness coach. She is currently in her 9th mont of pregnancy and said she would work…See More
Paula commented on Melissa's blog post Fibro Fog"You'll have to let us know how the Zone worked for you and if it helped with the fibro. Pain is such a terrible thing. My heart truly goes out to you."
Paula commented on Melissa's blog post Wake Up!"You need to find a diet and exercise plan that works for you. This can be tough to do. Have you asked your Dr? Maybe they can advise the foods that might trigger a flare up so you can avoid them. I know that diet can make a HUGE difference. My…"
Melissa Folz commented on Melissa's blog post Day One?"My first week I didnt change my diet, but started logging what I ate, it was a real wake up call to see how many calories the things I loved had in them... and how many calories I was eating in a day... that would make today day one! :)"
Paula commented on Melissa's blog post Day One?"What a wonderful gift for hitting goal!! I bet he would be taking you regardless, but the trip sure is a motivator."
Melissa posted a blog postDay One?
Can't really call this day one since I am not really dieting. I had two wheat bagels for breakfast with 3 cups of coffe ... lunch rolls around and I had a homemade taco and a small piece of homemade pear pie. It is so yummy! So how can I call this day #1? I can't. All I can say is that I am thinking about & really wanting to lose weight.My boyfriend and I made a deal. In two year we plan to go to Mexico to his friends villa. (Rich friends are no nice to have!) I have to be at 140 pounds or…See More
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Hello. I am 35, a mother to a beautiful 13 year old daughter, living with my boyfriend of nearly a year. I am overweight and I am done with it. I have horrible food cravings plus fibromyalgia. I truly believe that if I can get my weight under control, I can decrease the pain of my fibro.
I need to talk about the combo of being overweight and having fibro. Basically I just need to write how I feel, if I am succeeding, or if I am cheating. I believe that it will keep me inline. I hope :-)
Wish me luck, I feel that I will need it most days.

Goals - NO TIME LIMIT
Goal #1: weigh 215 pounds
Goal #2: weigh 200 pounds
Goal #3: weigh 190 pounds
Goal #4: weigh 180 pounds
Goal #5: weigh 165 pounds
Goal #6: weigh 155 pounds
Goal #7: weigh 150 pounds
Goal #8: weigh 145 pounds

Goal #10: Maintain 140 pounds!
I choose not to put time limits on myself at this time because I never know with my fibro how I will do my exercise program each day if I am in pain and unable to move. This is easier & so much less stressful. I have 25 months before I am going to Mexico ... I can lose 90 pounds in 25 months. Geez, I hope so.

Wow ... what a day! Started out slow but I ate better, more whole wheat, less sugar. I hurt like you-know-what because of the flare up of my fibro but I am more alert. However, I can tell that the flare up is still underway because I was driving and I completely forgot where I was going or what I was doing on that particular road. I pulled over and had to focus on what I was doing, finally it came back to me. The fibrofog seems to be getting worse, the flare ups are worse I know that for…

Today was a hard day for me. I am in the middle of a "flare up". That means that my body hurts more, I can’t think straight, and I have a very hard time wanting to do anything. I saw my therapist today, she is helping me deal with having fibro. I am nearing my two year mark for having fibro and I have yet to learn to accept that I am not the same person I use to be.…

Lynn said… Hi Melissa! Welcome to Blog to Lose. Sounds like you're in a pretty tough spot with the fibro diagnoses. I don't really know too much about it, but from what I do know it can be pretty painful. You'll be in good hands here... I look forward to sharing your journey with you!
