Cancer AND Baby Weight...Gone!

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my final round (of 18!) of chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Not only am I now alive and healthy, but I'm also fit and -- dare I say? -- thin. I wore a strapless dress to a wedding this weekend to proudly display my healthy head of hair, peeking-out collar bones, and toned arms. (Sorry, no pix. Stupid of me.)

From June 4 last year, I'm down 34 pounds, having lost all my chemo weight AND my 10-pounds of baby weight. I'm back to my wedding weight, and it's still coming off, especially now that I've relaxed my mental attitude.

I have this amazing site to thank, and all the good ideas, answers and friends here.

You are all wonderful, and MFP is great!
