i'm 59 yrs. old and weigh 224 lbs. i have fibromyalgia and have gained 85 lbs. in the last 18 yrs. everything i try i don't have success with and i give up. istarted on the 17 day diet the first of the year and have lost 6 lbs. in the last 4 days. i have been nauseous and had pain and bloating since i started. i am not going to give up. this i my last chance. i know i will eventually end up in a chair unable to get up like my late father that died at 66 yrs old if i don't get it off now. is this normal? i swim and do water aerobics daily mon. thru fri. but that is all i'm able to do physically.
