TN Ten Pounds Take-Off

I am still the same weight:( Oh well, at least I didn't gain!

I would have joined you ladies sooner but I am new here.  Getting my BMX tomorrow and looking forward to my zumba days again soon.  I was doing hcg diet when I found the lump and stopped immediately with that.  The 15 pounds gone might just be what saved my life as i did not feel it a month earlier when i did my own exam.  Gonna lose probably 10 lbs tomorrow when they take the girls.  Cutting out sugar since I started hcg 5 weeks ago.  Now I am going to try cutting the fat too, but not until I am done with the pizza my son is bringing over for dinner teehee.

@tnbcruth--I am your neighbor to the east in Melbourne and I agree--keep Irene away.  Considering going to MD Andersonin Orlando for treatment for this trip neg metaplastic beast.

Bad week for me too - DH was home the whole week, and he is such a bad influence on me, lol.  Up a pound.

Meeting my BF at the gym tomorrow, hoping to get on the treadmill or swim, then doing a yoga class - my first time!

Maggie-If you want to get into MDAnderson next year, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!  They are booked solid for months and months!  

Heidi-sounds like you are at least feeling better!  Neat pic on TN thread. 

LIke Heidi, I had an unusually low scale reading yesterday, so hopped right up to see what it said today, and apparently got distracted before I reached the scales 10' away...cleaned up the kitchen, made some coffee, picked up a dead spider...then wandered back to the computer and was like Oh Yeah - my weight!  Made it there and back in the same time zone, and I'm back up the one phantom pound...happy to be holding at 143 despite what has been going in my mouth.  How about you Heidi?  Suze- awesome that you could work out an hour!!!  You are something!

I also like that idea about judging by the way our clothes fit.  I have my favorite pair of skinny jeans that I haven't tried on in quite a while.

Suze:  Yoga sounds great.  I am thinking about trying it.  I feel sort of off balance (lopsided)  so we'll see how it goes.

I hope the storm is not too bad for you all.

MBJ - ugh that sucks that you are dealing with your neck and foot.  I can see how it would be hard to find something comfortable to do.  I know with the recumbant bike I only use the arch of my feet, so that is one thing to try maybe?  I hope you feel better soon!

Taking a long walk today - my head is still messed up, so I'm not comfortable using the treadmill, but I have a great 2 mile route by my house that is hilly, but not too bad.  So I'll give that a try.

My 8's are too big, my 6's are too small.  I hate this in-between!

Navy - great job on the exercise!  I don't know which is the most important for us, but my doctor said worry about exercise first, then get the diet in line.  Keep it up!

Hi Ladies,

It' s been a while since I was on the boards. I spent most of my time on the November 2011 chemo forum. I am triple negative and BRACCA 2 positive.  My last chemo treatment was 3/7/11. I was declared cancer free on June 7!!  I was a very fit and active person pre diagnosis. I went to Jazzercise at least three or four times a week!  I was about 116 pounds before I started chemo.  I ended up getting down to 108 dring chemo.  I have had a double mx,breast reconstruction,and a hysterctomy in the course of the last 9 months!  I am also going through menopause.  Since I ended chemo I have gained my weight back and a bit more.  I never had a problem with gaining weight in my life.  Some of my clothes are a bit snug. I just started going back to Jazzercise and I'm hoping to get back to my pre-diagnosis weight.  Am I dreaming??  I should just be happy to be cancer free and who cares if i'm a bit heavier than before, right?  Why do I care? I never thought of myself as so superficial?  Could it be that I am 45 years old and I should just accept who I am.I'm trying to eat healthier and exercise at least three or four times a week.  I think if I do that I should be fine right? I realize Im ranting and most of you probably think "hey, she's only 116 lbs" shw should consider herself lucky! I know but I feel like everything I put in my mouth is putting on weight.  It's harder to maintain.  Can anyone relate?

Thanks for listening:)

Navy mom- thanks - that sounds fun! I'll have to look into that.... I have a neighbor down the street who has been doing some major serious exercising so she has been getting me to do some real walking and some swimming.... So far no change but it has inspired me to eat better might weigh tomorrow and then I'll tell!

Hi Ladies,

Thanks Traci, I'll try not to beat myself up too much. 

@Heidi, my current weight is about 117lbs.  I just want to mainrtain. Maybe lose a few so my clothes are not so snug.  I am tryng to eat healthier and I'm exercising almost daily. Either walking or going to Jazzercise. My energy is not even close to what it was pre dx.  I realize it takes time after all we have been through but it is just so frustrating.  Count me in your group if it's not too late.

Thanks,

Lisa
