Femara and weight loss

So sorry to hear that you have been so unwell, Mich. That is definitely not a good way to lose weight but I can understand you wanting to keep it off and try and lose some more through healthier means.

It is very hard to lose weight after everything (and you have had so much on top of BC) and I found that it was much slower going than before BC pushed me into menopause. The fact is menopause causes us to lose muscle and this means that our metabolism slows down making it so much harder to lose weight. I find I need to exercise much more to build or at least keep some muscle and help keep that metabolism going along. I really struggled at first and had to start little, just walking for 10 mins at a time. Seeing the exercise physio for a couple of months really helped to get me going in the right direction with exercise that my body could manage.

I know that if I stay in menopause (which looks very likely) that I will probably be put onto one of the aromatose drugs in a year or so. Hope that I can continue to exercise and keep myself well if that happens. Hope that you can recover from everything and start to feel better soon. :) Deanne xxx
