Struggling with Fibromyalgia and Weight Loss

I know diet is extremely personal and I don’t want to project, but I have had success losing weight gently and slowly and keeping it off with intermittent fasting. I just eat one less meal a day, and eat until I’m full in a specific 12 hr window. I think it’s gentle enough to try for folks struggling to lose any weight, but do consult a dr if you’re taking medications or making other changes concurrently!

Tons of people with fibromyalgia find aquafit to be a great, low intensity work out that is gentle on the joints!

I struggle to get to the gym due to aches and pains and lack of motivation. But I always feel so much better after I go, so I try to keep that in mind. Stretching, yoga, recumbent bike, & rowing machine are what I stick to on my bad days. I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can do more water workouts, though!

I am over weight and definitely suggest water exercise if you have access. I also try to work on my diet along with stretching and floor core work. My knees can't handle jogging just yet and it's been snowing alot lately here.
