Wednesday Weigh In

I am at five years since surgery but not yet five of treatment. The aim right now is just to discontinue the Lupron. I had regular periods at 52 when I started treatment and no signs of menopause plus my mom didnt hit menopause until late 50s so they continued the lupron all this time. She would like me to stay on the AI for 10 but I was a recurrer so that plays into the decision. I am actually on exemestane now and havent had the issues I had on the anastrazole and letrozole so I am in favor of 10 until research is cle

Yes, lucky me. I'm in the <5% bucket - mastectomy that have local recurrence. I feel like tamoxifen just didn't work for me. But anyway, AIs are working fine.

Down .6 lb yesterday at ww weigh in. I was prepared for a small gain or maintenance. I will try harder this week!! It would be nice to see a whole pound down!

I’m up .4 but I’m not surprised, it’s been a stressful week, not many good home cooked meals and my thyroid meds are being increased. Never had thyroid problems before, so it’s either from chemo or rads to the clavicle area. Oh well, I’ll make a better effort this week.

Yay! For the losers!

Down .5. I am going on vacation next week so.....you know what will happen there!

Maybe we should call ourselves the Partial Pound Losers and Gainers!! Better partial lbs. than multiple lbs.

Enjoy your vacation, Ruthbru. Even when we splurge, we can use moderation. Like having a small hot fudge sundae (as I did on Tuesday night) instead of a large one. Last night I ate half my medium-sized baked potato and was satisfied. It takes less butter on a half!

Gained another pound this week. I'm up three from my lowest since joining this thread. Thanks for helping keep me accountable. Glad to hear of your successes. I am looking forward to summer and the extra exercise that'll come my way!

• Down 2.25lbs this week. Weight 136.5lbs. I’m happy with my efforts. Having porridge for breakfast seems to help. If I skip breakfast, I tend to go crazy later. X

great job, Heidi and Scot!

I'm also down 1.5 lb this week. I ate less and exercised more.

Friday is my stage two reconstruction. Then, I hope to break up with my PS for good. So probably not much exercise but probably not much eating during recovery. We shall see how it goes

Congrats Scot, Heidi, Falconer. I gained 2.6 this week, to 153.4. I am not surprised, been eating out alot and having too many cocktails. Plus this is around the weight I can never get below, up a pound, down 2, up 3 - and so it goes. But I really want to break through this barrier and get to a healthy BMI. Next week is a week of camping at the beach, so perhaps the threat of wearing a bathing suit will keep me honest with my food intake!

I was up 1.6 lbs at my WW weigh in on Monday. I wasn't surprised because I felt bloated. Hope to do better this week.

Congratulations to losers!

Two Hobbies, that sounds like such a nice plateau to one who hasn't seen that weight range for decades!

At Monday WW meeting, I was down 1.2 lbs which mean I didn't quite lose all of the 1.6 lbs I gained the week before. But at least I wasn't up! Got to look on the positive side.

I’m up 1, not really unexpected.
