Weight loss saved her life...

So I had lunch with a client today and we began to talk about our "weight loss efforts" and I told her all about MFP! Hopefully she will join:)

But she really did most of the talking because she lost over 100 pounds about 5 years ago, and in doing so, discovered she had breast cancer... She did the popular Atkins diet and jokingly she told her doctor the cancer was from that diet... But truthfully the doctor responded the diet saved her life. The lump was there for awhile but due to her large size she never felt it. After she lost all the weight it became noticable... I know losing weight you will be healthier but who would have imagine it could reveal something life threatening...
