Progress - 5 Months
SW: 170 / CW: 140 / GW: 135?
I was 140ish in August 2023 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was perimenopausal and had been slowly gaining belly weight despite eating clean, non-processed vegan.
I gained about 15lbs through surgery and chemo treatments over the course of 3 months. Then I started the hormone blockers which brought a host of negative side effects and also led to slowly putting more weight on. The oncologist was no help and did not believe it was his lane to help with the weight loss even though all symptoms were a result of treatment. So I took matters into my own hands.
First dose Reta 1.0mg on February 8, 2026. Did not take another dose until 3/8/2026. I’ve been consistently on 1mg until 4 weeks ago when I bumped to 1.2mg/week. I added KPV for inflammation about 5 weeks ago. I walk 10k steps about 95% of my days, still eat vegan and do kettlebell exercises while on meetings at work.
