Breast cancer, and seeking advice

[Gerri]

I am 56 years old and was already overweight when diagnosed in '05, after chemo I put on another 30 pounds. I decided to try to eat healthier and thought I was eating a pretty balanced diet but still wasn't losing weight. I joined Weight Watchers at the very end of August last year and as of today I have lost 54.4 pounds. I hate to admit that I have done very little exercise up until now, but am sure that becoming more active would help me reach my goal quicker. I am trying to incorporate walking into my lunch hour, but only average about 3 days a week. I know that I need to start some resistance training to improve my muscle tone.

Weight Watchers was the ticket for me. The program is very easy to follow and I am thrilled with my success.

Good luck ladies!

Weight Watchers is a great suggestion. I know many people who have had success with this program.

I was thinking about the gym vs outside idea. I've done both but do prefer to get outside for some fresh air, good for the mind and body, although sometimes the gym is more inspiring and helps with mixing up the type of workout I do. I was thinking about getting a Wii Fit program. I hear good things and this would allow me to exercise at home but mix it up a little from walking/running. Has anyone tried the Wii Fit program?
