Congrats, that is so awesome. I found it awfully hard to lose the weight that I had put on with chemo. I gained about 13 pounds right off the bat. I had so many problems after chemo with shingles and pains that I didn't feel like exercising at all. I had always been very active with tennis and working out at the gym. As soon as I started feeling better I started doing a lot of cardio at the gym, I love the olyptical machine (sp?) for that, so I went out and bought one for my house, it's handy to have it on hand when I want a good quick workout and not leave my house. Weights seemed to hurt my arm and aggravate the nerve pain I have had. I am now back into playing tennis at least 4 days a week and am glad to say I'm back to my pre cancer weight. When I really want to get serious about my weight I go buy a lot of the Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisines and eat those...I do allow myself one day a week to eat whatever I want. After that, it's just about watching what you eat and eating smaller portions...sherryg683
