Hi there all you ladies who have finished their treatment and find that there is more of them now then when they first started out on their breast cancer journey!
I would like to be a ‘Lesser Woman’ and have decided that now is the time to start taking back control of my life, especially as next Wednesday I will have my 18th and final herceptin. I thought that it might be a fun idea to try and set up a virtual support group on this forum so that we can spur one another on to shift those unwanted pounds, and maybe donate the equivalent in money pounds to Breast Cancer Care.
You don’t have to reveal your starting weight if you don’t want to, but just report once a week, say on a Sunday what we have lost (or gained even! - I am a realist!) and have a laugh along the way. A lot cheaper than WeightWatchers or Slimming World etc etc.
Is there anyone out there who wants to help me on my way?
Hiya Mazzalou
I would not mind doing this with you , but I have to wait until after my 3rd operation which is on 3rd October. But as soon as I can I will join you.
Good luck with this new mission

Hi Mazzalou,
Just in case you don’t get many replies, there is another thread called Chubb club in the finishing treatment section which is a weight loss group who usually post how they are doing on a Sunday. That said not any posts yesterday I think. I do need to lose a few pounds but still doing my rads so will wait till then . May pop back in a week or two.
Good luck with the weight loss,

Hey, now I have had surgery I would be happy to join you. Some moral support would be awesome, so I am all for it

The more the merrier so stick around girls and hopefully some more will join us, but even if they don’t I’m game if you are so let’s try and be sure to post our losses (!) here every Sunday Or maybe it will be confession time!!!
Good luck for October 3rd BMW7 and hope to see you here soon as you are back on the road to recovery, and you too Gaynor once you have finished your rads.
Well, I take it that everyone out there is a ‘Skinny Winny’ as I don’t seem to have any takers. I’ll stick around for another week and see if anybody else wants to join me and then I will sign off.

Have you started or are you waiting to find some others before you start?
I weighed myself this morning 
so the fight has begun. I will report back next Sunday but if no-body else wants to join me I shall carry on regardless and most certainly not a case of ‘Stay Fat and Carry On’!
Hi Mazzalou please count me in, as I tuck into a couple of biscuits waiting for my meal to cook. Definitely need to lose weight but can’t seem to get my head round it. Don’t check in very often but what an opportune moment! Feeling guilty so will report back in on Sunday with weight loss/gain! Thanks for the inspiration x
Me too please !!! Ive put on nearly 2 stone since dx , and at only 5ft3 and weighing in at 12st4 I look like an oompah loompah !!! I have been dieting for 2 weeks and lost 5lbs so now down to 11.13 but def need some virtual support , good luck to all

Count me in. Saw doc last week while having rads and she said my recent weight gain was probably letrozole related! I don’t want to obsess about my weight but I also dont want to buy new clothes, I quite like the ones I’ve got! Well certainly not new ones in bigger sizes. Around 10 stone 3 this morning. Will post next Sunday.

Hi all
Another one here who could do with a bit of support to shift a few pounds (err, more accurately a couple of stone) - I know the value of doing it, but the will power can’t always keep up! Will weigh in next Sunday. Good luck to all, Jude
I joined chubb cluB. But it seems everone has disappeared. With a bit of luck everyone has reached their goal. I have now lost 4kg since late August. Another 6 to go. So I will be joining you. Update next Sunday. Not too hopeful as I have a business trip.!.
Welcome to you all and soooo glad that I am not the only one amongst us that needs to tighten their belt!!! I had to laugh at your decription Janice of looking like an ‘Oompah Loompah’!!! My aim is to try and lose weight as my daughter gains weight. No, I am not a mean Mother - she expects a baby just before Christmas and I would like to look like a ‘Glamourous Grandmother’
I have my 18th and final herceptin on Wednesday and see my Oncologist tomorrow for what I guess may be my last appointment and I know that there is more of me attending my appointment tomorrow than when I had my 1st one last June before I started my chemo, rads and herceptin.
If we ladies can conquer BC then I am sure we can win the fight against flab so here’s hoping for good news stories next Sunday.

Hi, can I join even though in only starting on the journey? I have about a stone to loose. I actually went to the gym and weighed myself today so knowing I have to account for myself every week would be good for me.
The more the merrier. The only entry requirement is that you want to lose weight!!!
Count me in Mazz,have recently come off tamoxifen and now on arimidex,could do with losing about half a stone,very difficult to do at age 51 and my favourite tipple is a glass of cider!Will report back on sunday with my starting weight.

I admire your bravery Di as I shall only be revealing my weight losses - I hope!!!
haha,and i admire your optimism Mazz!!! Im gonna eat all my favourites up until sunday,then go for it,Good luck!!
Hiya - I would like to join in too please. I’ve been on Letrozole for nine months now and struggling with my weight. Need to lose some before Christmas or I will have to buy a whole new wardrobe full of clothes (which I do not want to have to do)
Might stand a chance of losing a pound today as I am just back from the dentist after having a filling and my mouth, chin and tongue are completely numb. Daren’t try and eat anything.
dib - my favourite tipple is cider too - used to be able to drink it and lose weight but not these days!
I’ve bookmarked this thread so that I can find it next Sunday - hopefuly to report a loss of some kind.
