Hi all, I have been on Tamoxifen for 3 and a half years and the weight gain is really getting me down.

I have been following the Slimming World plan for just over 2 weeks and have gained 2lbs in this time. I lost 2 stone with Slimming World before diagnosis. I have alsoincreased my levels of physical activity, I just cannot get any weight to shift.

Has anyone any suggestions/ideas/recommendations?

I'm becoming desperate enough to consider quitting the Tamoxifen.

Many thanks,

Lynne

  • I lost weight last year pre diagnosis using the ‘lose it’ app to track calories and suggest calorie targets.I was also exercising more than normal for me. I’ve only just started on tamoxifen but plan to use the app again if my weight creeps up.Good luck!
