1st day 5/3/13
I was once told if you have weight to lose do it before you're 40, because after that it gets harder...why the hell didnt I listen??? It really is harder.
10 years ago I was told I had cancer, and was given 10 weeks to live, I was diagnosed with T cell non hodgkins lymphoma stage 4b, to cut a long story short a week after I was diagnosed I went on a clinical trial, had lots of high dose chemo and a stem cell transplant..obviously it worked coz here I am 10 years later yey me ;) Anyway, I went through an early menopause and so the weight thing started, suddenly I became a yoyo dieter and now Ive had enough, so I searched the internet and found MyFitnessPal, Ive been overwhelmed with friend requests and support on my first day, it really has given me a boost to go for it...so thankyou, i look forward to many online friendships from all over the world :)



Consider it your ecological DUTY!
Good luck!
I am so elated that you fought the battle and you beat it. And yes it may be a little harder after age 40, but it can be done and I'm living it right now. I'm 58 and have lost 127 pounds in 16 1/2 months. I have 18 pounds to go to my goal weight. My message has always been that no matter your age or weight, you CAN do this.
I have a sister-in-law that is currently on chemo for Stage 3 lymphoma. I pray that her battle is as successful as yours!
