Survivor wanting to get by in shape...

I am going on a 3-year breast cancer survivor and have finally been given permission to lift weights! Yay! My biggest challenge has been with the meds I have to take, but I am determined to get this added weight off and keep it off. I've read through some of the posts and I'm even more inspired to keep it movin'! I'm looking for forward to 'meeting' other like minded people and learning from you all.
