Hello ladies..It has been about a month since finishing herceptin..yayyy..I have lost some weight but for me not fast enough.  I am indeed watching what I eat and working out as well, although my stamina is still not great. I know we all have heard similar stories from women on the effect herceptin has on in weight gain, especially the belly bulge. Wondering if anyone has experienced faster weight loss after herceptin.....Take care.

    My weight loss was slow and steady.  I had gained 10 lbs due to steroids; finished Herceptin in Jan '09.  Started working out the middle of Jan, lost 3 lbs in Jan and 3 in Feb.  Then nothing but started an exercise program through a cancer support association and lost another 4 lbs by the end of June.

    I think everyone is different with different metabolisms.  I still have the belly but this is due to menopause and nothing I do helps, so not related to the Herceptin.  Be patient and just do the best you can and I'm sure you'll see results.
