I am a 37 year old mother of three girls looking for motivation and support. I NEVER had a problem losing weight until I got cancer. Now I diet, exercise and the scale goes up and down. It stinks and I am very frustrated!!! I live in Central Florida. TIA

    First of all congrats on beating cancer! I too have won the fight. I'm 18 months post treatment and just had a baby. I've not been able to shed the pounds since treatment. I was on high dose steroids so that's when the weight came on and it's been here to stay. I had lymphoma. I've been able to lose a few pounds since starting MFP and I hope to continue!

    Congrats to us all for kicking cancers *kitten*. I'm a 13 yr BC survivor and still have not lost the weight I gained during and after treatment. Chemo/Rads wreak havoc on our bodies and our metabolism changes. Keep your chin up, keep in exercising and eating right and you'll feel better. You've got this!!!! ;)
