Going Forward

Finished  Radiotherapy just before Christmas and now on Hormone tablets, but having major problems losing weight.    Need to lose weight for other medical problems as well as avoiding Osteoporosis.    Tried my GP but all rests done come back negative.    My personal belief is water retention but it's not on horizon as far as GP concerned.       HELP please.   

I write down time and item of everything that goes into my mouth

  • yvanova i know how you feel i never had chemo or radium i had my kidney tken out due to cancer in december ive gone from size 12 to 16 now i dont over eat the weight is down to medication i think it horrible aint it feel for you babe

     

  • I'm a member of Slimming World and went from size 30 (Evans) to size 22/24 supermarket.   I go to gym once or twice a week plus Aqua aerobics not sure what other help I can get.   

    Government keeps complaining about overweight persons, and compares us to drug addicts

     

     

  • Yvanova im struggling with the same on hormone tablets LETROZOL and my weight is sky rocketing despite trying not to over eat. I'm also on thyroxine for hypothyroidism a condition which also increases my weight. I've  now enrolled in a fitness programme doing Aquafit and the gym with instructor to help me improve my fitness level but hopefully to also lose some weight. It's so hard and disheartening though when the weight doesn't shift despite all the effort. I know how you feel. 

  • I also have spine injury amongst other problems.but have managed to attend Aqua Aerobics and the gym in moderation.    Have some equipment at home that I'm trying to use more like my body blade

    But it's soul destroying when no matter how much effort you put in, you get nowhere.
