Weight gain and Arimidex
Hi everyone....has anyone had weight gain on Arimidex? I work in a job that has me walking over 15000 steps per day and have never had an issue before now!! I'm not really overweight but am concerned ...

I'm on letrozole so similar. I haven't gained any additional weight on letrozole (but chemo was a different kettle of fish)
I think most issues are for women who suddenly go into menopause as your weight distribution changes.
I have found losing weight a bit harder though.
My diet wasn't as tidy though as I was more fatigued at night so not prepping good food choices to take to work.
Once I improved that and started recording my food choices in a food diary...well it starting coming off again.
Exercise is helpful...but weight is 80% about what we eat.
Hope this helps. Kath x.
