I'm recovering from breast cancer for which I had a lumpectomy done in Feb. 2011. I am on meds for hormone blocking so this has added a few pounds of which I am determined to work off now that my energy levels are picking up again. Radiation treatments (25) finished in early August 2011 and my energy levels really suffered from that. It is predicted that I should be feeling more like my old self again by January 2012.
40 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes as well and have always maintained control through watching what I eat, which I still do. Losing this excess weight will improve that situation for sure.
I also have inherited high cholesterol but weight loss should also improve that.
I'm happy to have been told of this site, from a friend of mine, and hope to become greatly encouraged to reach my goal in a year or so.
