Terri,

Boy, do I know what you mean! I was already struggling with my weight pre dx - then packed on another 30 lbs with treatment. I joined Weight Watchers at the very end of August last year and have lost 50 lbs! It is such a great program; I am so glad I gave it another try. I am still working toward my goal and feel so much better physically and mentally. Don't give up, you are on the right track!
