Why do gals who go through menopause gain weight in their tummy's, found an interesting explanation on one of the forum threads:it is the body's response to estrogen deprivation.Bellyfat puts estrogen right near our organs, which are deprived of estrogen They keep trying to get estrogen from the bellyfat.
Hmm that might explain the spare tire that plays the jello-man when I run, my ovaries have been taking some vacation due to chemo blast. However I do have to lose the 20 pounds that I gained before I start tamoxifen I will not use the chemo / drug excuse to balloon up any further.

We decided with Z to share our fitday journal links and start logging our food and workouts starting Sunday
.
Sunday did a 2:24 9 mile walk/jog with Z at the gym alternating between 1:30 min walk/1:30 min jog and 1 min jog 2 min walk. Walks at 3 mph, jogs at 5 mph, with 1%incline.
We gave 2 breaks at hours 1 and 2 for a couple of minutes. The first hour was fun we were chatting along and Ferit also came and ran with us(that is the beauty of the treadmill you can run together with people who leave you in the dust) I am getting slower and slower and can't figure out why(Other than the weight gain)
.
I emailed the coordinators of the 2 studies that I am interested in which were closed to get any preliminary results that they might be able to release on studies ACOSOG Z0011 and S9927.
