Hello! I'm a second time breast cancer survivor. First time I was diagnosed two years ago at stage 1. I had a lumpectomy and was put on tamoxifen. Well unfortunately the tamoxifen did not work for me and I had a second breast cancer just diagnosed this past October at stage 2. Thankfully both were caught early and were…

Please add me too! I was on a good role of losing weight (eating healthy and exercising) a couple years ago and then some medical issues hit me. Now I'm fully recovered but at my heaviest ever! Ugh! I'm ready to get back to feeling great and fitting into my clothes again. Would love to share what works and what doesn't.

Hi Patti, Yes I was lifted of all restrictions last Friday, Doctor said to ease back into things. I've been walking a lot and joined a group on MFP that challenges you to exercise as well. I also need motivation, but once I get going I don't want to stop. Thanks for the tip on the apple cider. I'll have to try it. I'm…

My sentiments exactly. Please feel free to add me as well. Anyone else on this thread with the same thoughts as well, please add me!

Sorry to hear about the cysts Maphammond. Hopefully this is something that might go away on its own or are they talking about removing your ovaries? I'm six weeks post op from davinci hysterectomy and kept only my ovaries and tubes. I'm hoping I made the right decision to keep ovaries, but was not excited about trying to…

I am only four weeks post surgery and hope this group grows as well. I needed to lose weight prior to surgery and am concerned about gaining weight after my surgery, I can't exercise yet however doctor said I could walk as much as I wanted. So, I walk....lol. Looking to slowly get back into exercising once I get the okay…

That is awesome and yes you should be proud of yourself.

I started c25k at about 205 pounds. I walked at 3.4 and started jogging at about 4.2. My hips and sides hurt so bad the first few weeks because I had sciatic nerve issues. Just to do 2 miles killed me. I went to about week 7 and now I feel so much better walking and jogging. It takes times for your body to adjust. I hated…

I'm in week six of c25k. It was pretty easy up until now. I've never been a runner and the end of week 6 is becoming quite challenging for me but I'm determined to finish it! Good luck!

I have hip and side pain and started going to the chiropractor He says I have a pinched nerve, to ice the lower back and sides and take Aleve. I've been doing some yoga stretches as well. It seems to be helping. I recently started walking/jogging and after a couple miles I could barely raise my left leg out in front of me.…

Hi! You can add me, I have about the same to lose and I log everyday.

I usually am not a dessert/sweet person but I can not have dark chocolate brownies anywhere near me. They will be devoured! lol

sounds delicious. I can't wait to try this, I love Pumpkin!

I have been sick with menstraul cramps since I started my periods. I would miss one-two days of school every month, staying home drinking vernors and eating crackers and throwing up to the point I wished I would just die. I have been on the pill since I was young, and this seems to help however i still have "flare-ups". I…

I'm glad you asked that, because I was trying to figure it out as well. THanks, I think I understand it now :)

Looking forward to it, thanks for the invite :)

I try to do exercises while I am doing chores. It probably looks funny, but when I'm doing dishes I will get some squats in or do leg exercises. When I watch tv at night, I do a couple exercises at the commericals, jumping jacks, push ups, crunches.....etc. Good luck!

protein shakes, I like making homemade ones with low fat milk and frozen fruit and the powder, the frozen fruit works great instead of using ice cubes, no chunks, nice and smooth!

I too love my beer, vodka drinks and fried foods from the bar. I live in the U.S. just started this program yesterday and would love to have friends that have similar goals!
