Hi all, im on letrozole one a day,  could anyyone enlighten me if its possible to lose weight while taking it. Ive joined a slimming club and sticking to everything, but im not losing weight,. 

Thanks 

  • Hi there...yes it is.  I've been taking it for 5 years.  I lost 21 ibs via slimming world.  Sadly most of it has gone back on... but that cos I started eating chocolate...and other things. My fault.  Not Letrozole. 

  • Thanks, maybe ive been eating something wrong lol, just daunting, will try harder 

  • hi Cymrulady    dont be hard on yourself losing weight  post meno pause  and on hormone drugs is not an easy task   i am a big fan of slimming world  and it has worked for me but its really hard work      i did try another well known slimming club  and that just didnt work even when i followed their plan   pre breast cancer   guess some diets suit people better than others

  • Thanks, will keep trying, maybe i will look  at other ideas to help with shifting some weight x

    I lost 8 stone over the last 18 months . I'm doing low carb check out Dr Jason Fung . I'm having Chemo soon and still going to do it the secret for me is to keep my insulin low and the weight will fall off . I usually only eat once a day and that is easy to do on low carb. Only cards allowed near me now are veg 

    Hope this helps but do check out Dr Fung or Dr Dan Maggs ( British GP I believe , YouTube ) 

    Cheers
