Weight Loss: Loosing weight may not need to be your focus. A personal fitness expert or physician, can do measurements of your body (including but not limited to weight). If you are more than 25 lbs overweight, good nutrition and exercise will take weeks to change the scale, because you are converting fat to muscle ; muscle weighs more. Don't despair, muscle is lean ; you will loose inches, ; feel better.

Count calories: Eating healthy is very important in managing your fibromyalgia but sometimes the calorie count is still too high. There are no effective medications or supplements for weight loss. Try decreasing your calories and slowly increasing your exercise. Go to www.myfitnesspal.com for a great tracking tool. Don't give up!
