I have gained weight with fibromyalgia. It hurts to do anything… even walk for long periods. But I am sick of being fat. And no matter how healthy and little I eat, I cannot lose weight and just keep gaining. Any ideas on what I can do?

I tried the acai berry routine, and I think it’s just a bunch of hooey. I didn’t experience any weight loss.

I have fibromyalgia too, and my neck is killing me as I write this. But, the sad reality is that to lose weight, it takes a combination of exercise and monitoring calorie intake.

Before you begin any cardio, try stretching. I think that stiffness is one of the worst parts of having fibromyalgia. And having massages will loosen your muscles up and make you feel better.

It truly does feel like a vicious cycle, doesn’t it? You’re in pain, but you know you have to exercise and endure more discomfort in order to lose weight and feel better.

Best of luck to you!
