  • Just sent you a friend request. I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma during my pregnancy, so after giving birth and finishing treatment (also complete remission) I also had a bunch of weight to lose, and still have some. So hard to struggle with changing bodies and then also the fact that you have to deal with the…
  • Woohoo! In for this round too, looking forward to the accountability! End weight last round: 80.3 kg which was down 0.7 kg from the beginning of the round. Hoping for a similar loss this round, which would FINALLY get me under 80 kg! Day/Weight/Comment 8/16 80.5 kg - up a little from yesterday's low. Stayed within calories…
  • Hi everyone - newish to this challenge (not to MFP!) and a bit late to this round... Goal for this round is to FINALLY get under 80 kg bc it is just way too high of a number for me and I am fed up with it. And I love the accountability this challenge gives me! Day/Weight/Comment 8/06 80.8 kg (178.1 lbs)- down from the…

  • CW: 82.5 kg (182 lbs) UGW: 70 kg (154 lbs) GW for this round: as close to 81 kg (178.5 lbs) as I can get but under 82 for sure Day/Weight/Comment 6/27 82.5 kg (182 lbs) - this is actually slightly up from yesterday. Not surprising, as I had a work thing with drinks and also had 2 small but very high sodium fried snacks.…

  • Hi Sue_01 - steroids suck, I know (non-hodgkins lymphoma survivor)... Good for you that you still stayed with eating healthy small portions, they made me want to eat ALL of the foods.

  • Also, this tea - it is awesome. https://www.rebeccakatz.com/recipe-box/commonweals-most-nourishing-and-healing-tea. It feels like a hug in a cup.
  • Sorry you had to join this club. Soups are great, and stews. Chemo is quite dehydrating, and can give you mouth blisters, so I like having saucy foods. (ask your doctor about taking ice during chemo that is associated with the mouth blisters, it helps). Just so you know - the fatigue will def be a thing but you might not…
  • Sorry that you are part of this club, but I am happy to hear you have such a good outlook! I am currently going through treatment for non-hodgkins lymphoma, luckily it's stage 1a so my prognosis is also above 90 percent. Weird thing for me is that it was caught during my prenatal screening, so I am going through cancer…

  • Hi Suzy, Welcome here - feel free to add me if you like. I am currently undergoing chemo, for a non-hodgkins lymphoma, so maybe we can support each other. Awesome that you are finished with treatment and taking back control!
  • Have you slept well recently? Being fatigued can make you more hungry as well.
  • Ouch, that sounds very unpleasant, can imagine you feel a bit derailed. But can you shift your focus on your health, rather than on your weight? If you change your mindset like that - what you are doing now to recover is not derailing you from losing those last 8 lbs, but it is contributing to your overall goal of being…
  • i don't think it's part of a healthy relationship to put one person in charge of the other for something that normal adults should be able to control for themselves. You are not his mother, and he is not a child. I know I would get hella annoyed if my husband tried to control my diet without my consent. At the same time,…
  • Question: do you also change the type of foods you eat when you are in maintenance? I can imagine if before in a calorie deficit, you were eating mostly high protein low fat foods, and with the increase you are now eating more high calorie sugary things, that might have an impact on the perception of fullness?
