Hello there! I'm new here.

I am a three time cancer survivor (skin, bone and lung) who desperately needs to get back into shape. After my lung cancer treatment (lobectomy, chemo and radiation), I gained over 50 lbs. The radiation damaged my thyroid and I am on levothyroxin. I have a bone graft (tibia) and osteoporosis and take calctonin. Due to the bone graft, I cannot run, jump, etc. I recently had a TIA (mini stroke) and was advised I needed less stress, a better diet and to exercise more. I have a sedentary office job with a lot of stress and find, when I get home, I feel completely drained. I just joined curves and attend a weekly yoga class. I just joined myfitnesspal and hope this is the beginning of a new life for me.

Hello I just started 2 days ago and looking for friends to encourage me and me to encourage them. My name is Katherine, but everyone calls me Kat. I have been trying to lose weight for 3 months now and have lost 39 pounds so far. I am a single mom of 3. So send me a friends request.

Pure strength and will power right there people! Take notes and admire this woman. I bow before you! Way to show the world and show your strength!

If you're stuck to a desk job like me, theres actually a pretty cool thing that you buy from Amazon (Im sure else where too) It's a stationary bike that sits under your desk. Every little bit helps.
