@Patti J Not sure how discipline is going to help much. I was following an exercise Physio regime during chemo and still lost all my muscle tone. Then I had a mastectomy and whilst doing gentle stretching exercises I pulled my torso muscles, twice. The Osteopath and lymphodema Physio are starting me on Pilates this week. My diet is healthy and I do not eat a lot. I walk regularly even though the peripheral neuropathy in my feet and ankles cause me grief. I am not saying this to get sympathy, just letting you know where I stand. What would be your suggestion to losing this belly bump? I have cut out sugar, wheat, dairy, alcohol and cut my coffee down to one a day.
