Weight Loss

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toronto, ON

I have been trying to lose weight for quite a while now. I am counting the calories/fat/carbs/sugar & protein for each meal/snack. I talked to 2 nutritionists and I even hired a personal trainer for a personalized workout. But nothing. Rien. Niet. Nada. I can't even lose 1 pound. So depressing. Anyone in the same situation? Or any advice? I exercice 5-6x/week by the way and do 30-40min of physio exercices every other day.

I keep losing and gaining the same 5 or 6lbs its frustrating. Apparently weight loss is more difficult for fibro sufferers I just read somewhere. It really sucks, as if us fibros dont deal with enough already!

Check any medication you may take, i only found out recently about gabapentine causing weight gain so you never know.
