Sent you a friend request. Forgot to ask, are you on tamoxifen or arimidex?

Has your gynecologist checked you for fibroids?

Thank you!!! Great post. I love my water! I definitely lose better the more water I drink. :drinker: Yes, at first when you increase your water consumption it seems like you're peeing every 5 minutes. But the bladder adjusts to it after awhile & you don't need to go as often. Think how healthy your kidneys are flusing out…

Its an ugly rumor started by the pigs

My 38 year old daughter Kelly has always been Bert (as a kid she loved Bert & Ernie) and Hunka-Munka (from Beatrix Potter) My 40 year old son never had a nickname, don't know wh, he'd say its because "you always liked Kelly better" but I am sure his wife has some nicknames for him...

I'm with Missy_1975. You add your alcohol in just as you do other calories. I learned through the years the best way to fail is to deprive yourself of a food (drink). I will never deprive myself of a drink-I enjoy it. Besides wine for example is good for the heart!::drinker:

In 1987, my mother died of a massive heart attack one week after her 57th. birthday. She was overweight all her life. I could see myself following in her footsteps. I have lost & gained, lost & gained more times than I can count. Then this year I got a wake up call when diagnosed pre-diabetic. I have already overcome…

survivor1952 I am a 12 year cancer survivor and I was born in 1952

A few years ago we had some people over (aquaintances not friends) One of the ladies lost a lot of weight & had dropped several clothes sizes. Another woman there said to her that since she had gotten thin maybe she could give her "fat clothes" to me!!! I was so humiliated.

My neck is thinner & collarbone actually shows. But what I lke most (& I am only down 12 lbs. so far) is that my face looks so much thinner. I hope my shoes size goes down or at least that my shoes aren't so tight!

Two Irishmen leave the bar...OMG, That is the funniest! I just texted it to my Irish husband!!!

You look so good, so healthy & so happy. Congratulations!!!!!!!!! You are a great role model for everyone.

Feel free to add me. The support system here is great.

She look s fantastic. She should be very proud

I have a toxic relative that I no longer communicate with. My advice, do not send/give the gift, do not send a card. Your life is healthier without toxic relationships. It may take you years to come to terms with this but it is true.

Oatmeal is great. Also, Snackwells makes an oatmeal raisin bar that is really good.

You really shouldn't fast unless its for a medical test. Fasting throws the working of the pancreas and thyroid off.

Great post. We all need to realize what works for one of us does not mean it works for everyone. I used to get frustrated because I would follow what one of my friends did, they'd lose fast & a lot & I wouldn't. Now I just look at "this is me, this is how MY body works" and I am much happier. Everybody-Keep up the good…

Before I started on Synthroid I was freezing cold, I mean ice cold hands & feet, shivering, always in a sweater or wrapped in a blanket. And I was sleeping 12+ hours a day. Now i still get tired but not sleeping my life away. I still get cold sometimes but it is not constant. I had gained a lot of weight quickly after…

Hi! I am Rosemarie and I am a 12 year BC Survivor. I had an estrogen positive ductal tumor in my left breast. I had a lumpectomy, lymph node removal, chemo, radiation and did 3 years of tamoxifin & 5 yrs. of arimidex. I was 47 when diagnosed.

I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic this spring. My advice is find a good endochronologist (ask friends, co-workers, drs. etc. for a recommendation because you want to find a good one). An endo will give you detailed info on what you should be doing/not doing so your pre-diabetes does not advance (or does not advance too…

Absolutely! Grab your ipod, sneakers and get out for a walk. And take your dog with you, he/she will love you for it.

We have a big garden & I freeze a lot of the produce we grow. I also watch ads for sales & stock up, make grocery lists & stick to them, meal plan ahead. If you really are committed to eating healthier you can afford to do it. I used to think "healthy" food was so expensive. But then I would look at the price of a bag of…

Hi Scott! Last Oct. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and had 1/3 of my thyroid removed. Even though my TSH levels were normal I gained over 10lbs. in one month after surgery.I also was ice cold all the time & was sleeping 12 hours a day. After seeing my endochronologist, she determined I was also pre-diabetic & informed me…

nope. By the way... I DO NOT like your pic of dog over Steelers emblem!

I'm in too! I have been kind of a t a standstill, need to exercise more. This goal will motivate me to work harder!

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Go Steelers!

I would like to see another 20-25 lbs. gone by this time next year. Then the challenge is to KEEP IT OFF!!!
