Anyone taking letrozole using slimming injections, I’m finding it hard to loose weight feel so unhealthy so much weight in middle( tummy ) was thinking of trying slimming injections.
Hi, I've been on letrozole for about 3 years and struggle to keep my weight in check, but I've not considered slimming injections. I'd suggest to chat to your GP or oncologist to see if there's any associated risks. Best wishes
Thank you, I just feel so unhealthy with all the extra weight. Thank you for replying
Hi Canbuslang, I have been a target member of slimming world for 8 years now. I started letrozole in early November and so far am still in target. I do not think of slimming world as a diet, it's more of a lifestyle change. I adapt most recipes so that they're slimming world friendly. Groups can be great fun and very supportive. Xx
Thank you I’m going to try slimming world with my daughter.
Great decision, I wish you well. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results. Best bit of advice I can give you is, stay to image therapy. You will get more from it if you don't just pay and weigh and then leave. Xx
