TN Ten Pounds Take-Off

Hi All,

164.  Day 3 (yesterday) post chemo was terrible.  DH finally found something that I could eat.  Today I'm shaky but hanging in there.  I walked a little bit.  I had a bacon biscuit this am with some grits.  Lunch was an apple and a honey/banana/peanut butter sandwich. Lots of water.

Hi everyone! I would love to join in, too.  I'm two years out from diagnosis and one year from active treatment (except for tamoxifen which I am currently taking.) I am right at 150 right now, down from a high of 153 last week. Prior to treatment I weighed 135-142, with a low of 118. I'm not doing so great with exercise but am going to go to the gym tomorrow.  I am trying to limit pizza and sugar. I have a horrendous sweet tooth but I eat a mostly vegetarian diet with cheese, eggs, yogurt, and occasionally some fish or shellfish. My present goal is to lose ten pounds.

Well, I survived the birthday party.  I had one beer and one plate of food and got away from the buffet tables.  I did cave when the cake and ice cream were served.....But it was really good! 

158 this morning.  I did much better this week with food choices. Trying hard to chose fruit, low fat yogurt or high fiber crackers when I need a snack.  Taking a day off from the gym today but going out dancing with DH tonught. 

Hope everyone if doing OK this week.  Slow and steady as you go, girls.  If you have a bad day, wake up the next day and try again.

Scale finally went down a little 134.2 this morning.  I really struggle with this 5 pounds, it should not be so hard.

I'm back after a little vacation. Have been up a few pounds, down a few. Anyway, here I am officially logging back in at 136.2 - want to drop 6 more.

I've been skiing a lot, but now that the warmer weather is coming, I will get back into my usual walk/run routine.  

160 this morning.  I just can't seem to hang on to the 150's.  So frustrating.  But I did it to myself.  I bought a big bag of peanut M&Ms.  I put them in a bowl on the counter top....thought maybe DH would help me eat them, BUT NOOOO.  He is up a few pounds and has the will power that is worth a million dollars.  I don't think he has eaten any!  UGH!  See ya next Friday, gals.  I hope you all are behaving better than I am.

Scale was 132 today, but it has been up and down a lot lately.  It was confirmed that I have a mild case of lymphedema so believe that could be messing up my numbers on the scale.

Yes, I am going to Physical Therapy and they are teaching how to do self massage and have given several pages of stretches and exercises to do twice a day.  The worst problem I am having is finding a comfortable bra to wear that looks nice under my dress clothes.  Most of my swelling is right at my sentinel node surgery site and my underwire is really uncomfortable.

Alrighty ladies, my wonderful lover just gave me a vitamix. We are going to fight cancer with diet and work on losing my chemo 10 lbs. I also won a prize in a cancer support raffle! It's for hot yoga? Hopefully I won't be too weak after surgery to try it.



I'm 168 today at 5'9. I want to lose 10, initially. Then push to 150.





Whose with me!
