I lost 100 lbs, 35 lbs to go. It is hard losing weight when you are on Lupron. Lupron gives you fatigue, effects your sleep, and you are tired. I have to push myself. My departed mother used to say the Lord in Heaven gives you a strong enough back to carry your cross. With God in Heaven's help, I am carrying my cross.

Keep going Rich. I was overweight (90kg), but not obese when I got cancer. I have embraced veganism and lost 20kg since I started on Zoladex in May 2017. Weight has been stable at 70kg for the last 2 months. it aint easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.
