Hi, I was 33 when we discovered I had stage 1 grade 3 breast cancer Estrogen Positive. Bi-lateral mastectomy in August 2013- just wrapped up my 8th surgery in 15 months. Ready to get all the weight I put on in this process off. Now 34 years old and I have a solid 50 months to get off me.

Add me as well. Age 33, two small children and stage 1 grade 3. I had a bi-lateral August 19th 2013, no chemo but several complications which led to a total of 8 surgeries in just under 15 months. I gained a ton of weight through the process, as well as my supportive hubby. I would love to motivate any of my "pink sisters"…

Congrats! I had several complications and ended up with suctures along my entire "breast" my implant has swung under my arm and things are literally stitched to "hold together" until i can get my levels back up for round 2 of surgery where fat will be placed to fill in the gaps and hopefully give something for my implant…

Thank you

Super, super helpful. Thank you again

Thank you- I hope your aunt is doing well

That's a big jump. I'm having a tough time getting my calories in now. I'll give it a shot---THANK YOU BUNCHES

Thank you

With the exception of weight restriction...I'm healed for now. I continue with reconstruction in April and my plastic doc said "it would help if you got back to a normal weight prior" real ego booster.:wink:

Do you think calories can be too low?

Thank you

I'm an old weight watcher and really ocd about using the scale to measure things. The only thing I'm eye balling are my apples. GREAT tips--- THANK YOU!

Thank you

^^^ Great attitude. Love the sweet reminder.

Thank you

Thank you for starting this thread! I was dx July 3, 2013 (I has just turned 33 years old.) Had my dbl mastectomy August 19th. I am in the midst or reconstruction. My husband and I just said we gained more weight from cancer than we did we our two pregnancies. Good luck to you all. In my thoughts.

YES :)

No one trying to conceive?

Okay, I half did it. I mostly worked out 4-5 times a week rather than 6 days every week. I now know I need to eat 1200-1300 calories a day to lose. I have lost a grand total of 25 pounds all together but that's only 13 in our 100 day challenge. Still have a long ways too go. BUT I HAVE NOT QUIT and I keep on trucking.

April 1st. Still getting in 4-5 works outs a week, have bounced my calories all over the place but not much of a weight loss this month (maybe a 2 pounder???) I am seriously bumming out I wanted to be down 9.5 more pounds by April 1st. I had a 10% goal by my birthday which is week away and I am very doubtful I will make…

Still going. Haven't had as great of results as you. But I am still trucking along.

LOOOVED level 2 and lost three pounds in that week. i am on day 5 of level 3 and I force myself to "do-it." Most of it I don't feel like I am doing it correctly and wonder if I am actually burning calories. Start level 4 Sunday, can't wait for the change.

Started January 1st- I am down 21 pounds but it doesn't seem to be going as quickly as I would like it to. I have about another 30 to go (hopefully by July).

BUMP

Soooo frustrated. I upped my calories to go with the BMR recommendations rather than MFP's standard 1200... and I think it backfired on me. I have lost a big fat ZERO since March 1st. I wanted to be down to 220 by March 1st and then 210 by April 1st, right now I am still hanging at 222 and I am becoming very doubtful that…

Rough week. I have been down for the count with a nasty stomach flu. I ache all over and I haven't workout since Saturday, but honestly I am so dizzy it really isn't safe. I will get caught up, hopefully soon.

I am bumming out. I stick to everything and this time I have had the nasty stomach flu for three days and have missed my workout. I feel an ache to get back but I could just be achy all over? Keep it up ladies- I WILL GET CAUGHT UP, promise.

Thank you. Heard her on the video but haven't visited the site. Thanks for sharing.:)

I need to lose 12 pounds this month that would put me down a total of 30 by April. That will leave April and May for me to drop another 15-20 and then BABY MAKING time.
