I'm in. One year breast cancer survivor who is cancer free (YAY!) but chemo related steroids put 40# on me and the follow up hormone blockers have made weight loss difficult due to severe joint pain. Currently at 200# (down from a high of 218# so another YAY!). Have been working on diet and starting to go back to the…

Just joined the October plank challenge........farewell, all..........this could be the end of me!

I'm having a hysterectomy in Nov so want to increase my exercise in Oct to be more fit going in. Spent the last 1-1/2 yrs recuperating from breast Ca and chemo so it's time to work on me.

Haven't planked in over a year due to surgery/chemo. Will attempt the 60 min challenge. Wish me luck!

I was stage 2a.......found my lump in the shower shaving my armpits to go get my mammogram......how's that for a new definition of irony???? Was offered lumpectomy......but I've been an RN for 30 yrs.......told the surgeon to take them both. I also chose to remain flat.......rarely wear my prosthetics........I think the…

I'm a 52 yr old one year breast cancer survivor who gained 40 lbs on chemo. Tamoxifen wreaked havoc on my joints so I could barely work let alone exercise.

I'm 52, still employed but 16% Irish according to Ancestry.com (supposedly descended from King Niall). I started at 218--currently at 200 on my way to 160. Have no clue how to add you....can you add me?

I'm also 52.......had cancer last year and gained 40lbs on chemo while I was already trying to lose 20lbs. The hormone blocker I was on gave me such horrible joint pain that I could barely walk at work let alone exercise. I started making small changes to regain my health........no soda or sweet tea, no artificial…

Is 52 too old for this?????
