>Dear Deb and Liz,
I hope that you don't mind my butting into your conversation. I
have not taken Tamoxifen but I was on chemo for a year and put on 35
pounds! The chemo ended 2 years ago and the weight was still on so this
past winter I joined a group called First Place. It incorporates weight
loss and Bible study. I thought that this seemed like a funny combination
at first but I went to the first mtg. and decided to join. I have a
terrible time losing weight on my own!! Each week we met for one and a
half hours. We started with weighing in (UGH!) and then spent about half
of the time discussing nutrition and menus and the other half doing the
Bible study. I did have a wedding coming up in June so I think that that
was an extra incentive but I did lose the 35 pounds!! We haven't met over
the summer but we begin again on Sept. 14th. I would love to lose another
20+ pounds. The nutrition part of this program was designed by a woman
whose husband is diabetic. You record all that you eat each day and choose
foods according to exchanges (so many carbs, fats, fruits, etc.) Drinking
8 glasses of water each day and exercise is stressed too. If you would
like more info let me know. Oh, by the way I also joined Rosie's Chub Club
with a group of teachers at school but I must admit that hasn't held
together as well as the First Place group has!! Mary Ann
