Please add me. I am a stage 3a breast cancer patient that just finished radiation last Thurs. I've had my chemo and mastectomy with reconstruction. I need help and support to lose weight and learn a "normal". Hope you have a wonderful day.

Hi everyone. I was dx May 2015 and had my bilateral mastectomy, chemo and just finished radiation. I need to lose abuot 150 lbs and that includes the 25 I gained during chemo. If any of you would like to be friends, it would help. I will be going on hormone inhibitors and need all the support I can get.

Emmerin78, thank you for residing in my mind and putting the words to the screen. I will be planting my garden tomorrow and have been reflecting too. We are having an exercise challenge at work and am on a team and I have to hold my end up, so I will be fitting in that time to take care of myself too. Good luck to both of…

I will post mine in the morning. Had a very busy month and the last 2 weeks VERY stressful health wise, but I'm progressing to figure out what is going on. Any thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a physical job and was told to consider sedentary and do that for a couple of weeks to see where you are with the scale.

I have a job where I am on my feet and am constantly moving all day and it was suggested to me to put my activity level at sedentary and eat up to 50% of the calories back that I burned at work. It has worked for me. Hope this helps. I also have a fit bit and I think I have had maybe 1-2 days since March that I didn't make…

Welcome to all of you. To add being completey and totally honest in your food diary, I have hound that journaling is very helpful. No matter what is going on in my day or my life, I try to write everyday, but sometimes I slack and it's a few days in between. i have noticed that as long as I journal I don't turn to food as…

I think it is a wonderful idea. You may add me as a friend too. I too have a food/sugar addiction and since being on MFP, I am doing pretty good, but weekends are my downfall.

Sorry, I did forget to add that I have fitbit and MFP connected. So Snazzy, are you suggesting to change my goal to sedentary and leave the fitbit at home since I would think that my body is conditioned to what I do at work? I am just trying to be clear. Thanks to both of you for the help. I am probably trying too hard and…

I would find an eating disorder counselor in your area or overeater's anonymous because there is much more to it than will power and way of thinking. It is an addiction and has to be treated as such. Good luck and I hope you can find your path to recovery.

You may add me if you like. I also live in the country and there are definitely different stresses than living in town. My downfalls are the weekends when I am home.

Congrats. Thank you for the motivation.

Dward, I didn't feel like you were attacking me on the water. I understand the questioning behind it. It is something that the "newer" and more popular trainers have suggested. With my weight, it is a gallon a day, but I also have a physical job and sometimes get just busy enough that I forget to drink. I am also trying to…

I am in the same boat as Carla. I have been an emotional/compulsive eater since I was a child. I knew in the back of my mind, but didn' really and truly admit until just recently when a friend/daughter's teacher came out that she is battling anorexia and bulimia. Made me take a very hard look at myself and realize that I…

I will join you too. I think it helps to have friends in the same boat. I struggle with emotional eating and am hoping to get a handle on it.
