I was overweight to begin with but I was in the loser club. Lost 21 lbs during treatment (so nauseous I couldn't eat healthy and refused not to - could have tolerated ice cream, pudding but I couldn't let myself do it) and another 14 afterwards. I would love to lose another 10 but I am figuring it is not to be. Even with running (I probably regain muscle vs fat) I have not budged. I am blaming ooph (menopause), getting older and Arimidex (as the 10-12 lbs is all belly fat).
