Hi there, I am 46 and just finished radiation 3 weeks ago. I’m starting Tamoxifen this week. I was actively losing weight last year and then got diagnosed October of 2022. My weight loss came to a screeching halt although I continued to eat the same. I had lost 45 pounds and I definitely don’t want to gain it back all…

@Womona I am right there with you sister. I start anti-estrogen therapy tomorrow and the side effects listed are horrifying. Weight gain is included. I have to take this to prevent cancer recurrence. Some women opt out of this treatment because the side effects are unbearable. I’m going to give it my all though! Fingers…

Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back! My goal for April is to lose those 4 pounds and walking 3 days a week. OSW: 250…

@mfowler883 Im glad you recognized bashing the ice apart as cathartic. If I had to go into the office I would want to bash something too. There is a place close to my house where you can rent a room by the hour and they provide safety glasses and things like sledgehammers or hammers and a bunch of old junk and you get to…

Hello LA community! I am Amanda, I’m from Michigan and excited for Spring to get here! This thread is my favorite bunch of people! I have been practicing LA since June ‘22. My April goals are to be 99-100% AF, continue healing from my cancer diagnosis and all the baggage from that and to work on my weight. 4/1: A-1 I went…

@Sinisterbarbie1 (Still my favorite username on the internet) Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! I am very aware survivorship and getting closer to it is a mental struggle. I am very aware of my mental health but that doesn’t mean I’m in a good place all of the time. I have quite a bit of support but I’m still…

Thank you so much to @jm216 for keeping this challenge going! I hope to see some pics of that adorable puppy this month! ❤️

@dawnbgethealthy I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your favorite job. I know you’ve got your chin up but we are here for you.

Hi, I’m Amanda! My only March goal was to come out unscathed. I sort of did! Healing radiation burns and 27 medical appointments under my belt! My A intake was low: 30 out of 31 days AF. As usual, everyone has been so supportive and kind and I couldn’t do this without you! On to April!

@Jthanmyfitnesspal I'm glad to hear you did well this month. Its true, its easier to run when youre lighter! @Womona Geez! I am sorry to hear you are going through this! I might be joining you in some of the effects of meno soon. Periods and pelvic pain and PMS are all a nightmare! I had a hysterectomy in 2018 (I have my…

@lmlmrn So proud of you that you keep plugging away at this and soon your efforts will be paid back! Packing/moving/organizing is mentally and physically exhausting. It will be great when you can let out a big sigh of relief! @itladyee Was there alcohol in your candy martini? Im not judging AT ALL I'm just wondering what…

@itladyee Ohmu goodness, what cool pics! I dont know WHAT is going on with that martini besides gummy worms...what was in it? @ahoy_m8 So interesting about Ozempic. Ive read the grumblings about diabetics not being able to get it. Ive honestly considered drugs to lose weight. My shrink offered some last summer but I read…

@lmlmrn The move will likely not kill you but you will feel like its going to. My mom said that to me many times this past summer when they were moving. Im pretty sure my mom almost killed my dad. I think the move aged them. What drives me crazy about moving is plans never go the way you planned them. No matter how much…

@tmbg1 I know this doesn’t help with the job stressors but I just want to say I hear you and I think teaching has got to be one of the hardest jobs right now. Thank you for hanging in there during all you were put through with covid and I think you should be paid way more. @Fursian Welcome! This group has made a big impact…

@Michieb125 Love the pic, so very jealous of your 24 foot beauty. I remember in the 90s we (2 other friends and I) would camp for 10 days in the UP with everything packed in my Grand Prix 😂 I don’t know how we did it. @mfowler883 You have a lot going on, no wonder you can’t sleep. Glad to hear H just got routine Shihtzu…

@mfowler883 OTC pain meds aren’t really helping but I still take them. I wasn’t taking too much but the doctor wasn’t in love with me being on NSAIDS 24 hours a day. They prescribed a narcotic pain med, which I’m careful with and it dulls the pain but the pain is still there, nagging. I guess this is what a person can…

@ahoy_m8 That is so nice, I am crying! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words. I’ve gotten some pain medication and it’s helping somewhat. Today was still rough. I got a short walk in. Things will look better in the morning! ❤️

@Michieb125 My parents are in their 70s and still drink wine everyday at 4. My dad stays put but my mom is unsteady on her feet sober so I worry about her the most. She has cut back on the wine (mixes it with diet Vernors-ew) but it’s a shame how her whole day revolves around that 4:00 hour. @globalhiker I drank, drink and…

@Michieb125 Your weekend with the grandkids sounds so busy and fun! They must be having a blast with you! I, too, like the feeling of clarity from being AF. I’ve been having memory problems since my diagnosis and I don’t need something else adding to that! @lmlmrn You are in my thoughts with inspections/contractors/time…
