Hello all,
I heard about this website on The Today Show this week, and this is my 3rd day. I've managed to put on almost 20 pounds after being diagnosed with uterine cancer, and having a total hysterectomy in December 2008 (at age 44). I'm hoping by logging every:flowerforyou: thing that goes in my mouth, exercising at least 5 days a week, and the support that seems so great on this website, that I will be able to lose these pounds in a very positive and fun way.

    Welcome, what a great place to recover. I picked this one because it broke down more then fat & sugar but iron, calcium, fiber, and focus' as much on health as losing weight. Great support to.

    You can be my motivation! Stage 4 colon cancer discovered during complete hysterectomy Dec. 2009 - when I was 39! chemo for life. My body reacts different now - not sure if it is lack of hormones or chemo side effects. I'm hoping logging everything that goes in my mouth will help too!

    Welcome Lucy,

    I went thru Colon Cancer in March 2008. This Thanksgiving I have been in remission for 2 years. It's been a long road back, but we can do it. Chemo does a number on the body, This is my second day. I love this site. Logging in everything that goes in your mouth is very helpful. Good Luck on yo0ur new journey
