6 Years and you are TNBC ! That's super awesome ! Hugs to you !

Yes ! Me ! I was diagnosed April 2013, I had 16 weeks of chemo, 2 surgeries (lumpectomies) and 31 radiation treatments. I finished Dec 27. Im back on MFP trying to lose the 22 lbs (and more) that I put on during treatment. I go back at the end of April. Oh and I am triple negative, brca negative. No TNBC risk factors,…

Work in Chapel Hill live in Hillsborough !

When I first started B-12 shots I would feel worse for a day or two. If you are that concerned, you may want to call your doctor as they know your medical situation :)

Yep 51 and Ive lost 25 on MFP and 30 before, but its taken me 3 years. Hormones and life and falling off the wagon. But here I am still, trying for the next 30 !

Cute toes !!!!

My thoughts are....did you not go to the grocery store before you started MFP? Or clean your house or whatever typical daily activities we do.

super ! Thanks !

Yes !! Been there many times :)

Hillsborough/Chapel Hill here !!

They post their calories on their big menu

Hi Im in the Durham/Chapel Hill part of NC. Youve come to the right place. MFP is awesome !

Caribou morning blend, has a nice KICK and Wolfgang puck creme caramel

Thats fantastic ! You are doing SO AWESOME, you should be very proud of yourself !

Thats fantastic ! You have inspired me this morning, thank you !

sounds gross but better than fast food !

If Im faithful about taking the biotin (3000 mg) my nails dont peel off in layers and I have noticed that my hair grows faster. Ive been on and off it enough times to know that it really does help and not just coincidence. As a side note, when I owned a horse, he was given biotin supplements for stronger hooves :)

According to my faculty docs (endocrinologists) its because of loss of insulation, that being brown fat ! The inside fat stuff. It takes a while for your body to reset itself, like MONTHS.

What an amazing victory ! Thank you for sharing yourself with us :)

Even though you may be out in the sun, if you are overweight/obese your body doesnt use it the way that it should.

OMG !!! In the drama of my life, I missed this !!! YOU LOOK FANTASTIC !!! I am so VERY VERY proud of you !!!!!!!

McMuffin with only half the muffin (i take off hte top, thats a savings of 80 calories) Wendys sells their salads in a half portion Wendys to go wraps Hardees chicken strips 3 are less than 300 calories Most places have a better choice. But like a previous poster said, they all have a lot of salt.

You are colder because youve lost your insulation, not so much the outward fat layer you can see, but the brown fat, the stuff inside. Theres not much you can do until your body catches up but try to stay warm by drinking warm liquids and dressing in layers

What an awesome transformation! Your story is exactly what my docs (I work for endocrinologists) keep telling me. Thanks for the confirmation :)

Oh yes, Ive experienced much the same. Its so frustrating ! And yes, I thought it was NOT Funny to have Wrinkles AND Zits !!

Yogurt completely shuts down my system, so I have to be careful how often I eat it. Which is a SHAME becuase I really like greek yogurt and the protein it provides ! Veggies esp corn, lots of other fiber, plenty of water.

so I get that house cleaning = moving = burning calories. But in terms of weight loss etc I have a question.... Did you not clean your house before you started cutting calories? Im assuming so, so how can that make a difference?

I get them ! In fact had them last night, ugh

If you cant stop at 1 beer or 1 glass of wine, go the liquor route mixed with seltzer water, tonic water or diet soda. Do not drink on nights you arent going to one of these events. Once you start losing weight and your tolerance decreases you can feel just as happy on less alcohol than it used to take. Leave room in your…

Its BS. LOL
