Hi Maynie,

I'll be your best bud on the diet train (I'll probably fall off a few times, though). What kind of diet are you doing, I'm kind of halfway between a diabetic meal plan(I've been a diabetic for 18 yrs. you'd think I would be good at this by now) and just saying, "NO". One thing I have learned is that you cannot completely cut out all the bad things that taste sooo good. If you let yourself have an occasional small treat, you won't feel so deprived and won't be as likely to binge out and suffer a guilt trip..... just one of the things I've learned the hard way!!

I'll talk to you soon, bud

thanks for being my bud. Right now I am try Slim Fast and I do not like the taset at all.
I have tried several ways to lose this weight but so far since 1987 I have not been able to do it.
I always give in the the sweets.
I am 5'5" and weight close to 200 and it is hard on me. I have tried diet pills and they worked for a while but here I am up in weight again.

Hey Maynie,
My name is Shannon and I, too, am overweight. Oh, who's fooling who here, I am fat!!! I have had cancer, too. As a matter of fact, I still have it now but I refuse to let it beat me. I had something similar to gastric bypass for removal of stomach cancer in October of 2000. I thought that at least one good thing would come out of having this cancer. But, no, my body has to be the stubborn type and I only lost 50 pounds and that was in the first 3 months. Since then I have been struggling to try and lose the weight. I bought a treadmill and I use it to walk 2 to 3 miles at least 3 times a week, (more if I can fit the time in). I am 38 and a mother of 5...3 teens and 2 elem age girls. I would love to have someone to chat with since everyone in my family keeps telling me that I don't need to lose the weight. That is just because the love me as I am and I am grateful for that. But I weigh 225 now and I weighed 275 before my stomach removal. E-mail anytime that you like. I am usually on most of the day until aroun 4.

I know just what you mean about the weight. I weight only 125 till I had the cancer for the 3rd. time and I was so sick with the cemo they had to give me something to make me gain the weight and now I can't seem to take it off. My eating habits are really bad and I know this but can't seem to get it under control.
I get so up set with my self for getting so fat. I now weight 195 and still eating and can't seem to stop no matter. I eat then feel really bad about doing it.
I am 5ft. 5 inches tall and I am 56 years old.
Cancer is very strong in my family. My father and brother died with it and 3 of my sister have had it also and the doctors just won't do any thing to help me loose it because of the cancer I think.
write and I will try to answer you right away. Maybe together we can get something done.
Good luck. We will just have to keep our CHINS up ;D
