I am upset right now. I have worked so hard to lose weight for 5 years. I was fed up at nearly 400 lbs. in 2010, battling varicose veins, lymphedema, and hypothyroidism. I did not get gastric bypass, but I started biking after lymphedema therapy. I now weigh 194 lbs, I'm 5'9" and medium framed, so I'm svelte for my weight. I now bike almost 18 miles a day, but have stayed the same weight for about a year because of my condition with my leg.

I've had so many surgeries for my varicose veins. I had a big surgery in Feb. after I started to limp from bad veins. The awful thing is that I had some kind of hormonal event after surgery and my breasts began to shrink. I wasn't too worried at first, but now I see what looks like some masculine muscle development in my upper body. I'm still getting normal periods and my Obgyn didn't think I needed treatment but he was gently telling me my figure would change. I'm now waiting on results from my mammogram, but I think I know what it will say. I have gone from 36 DD to 34 C already. I'm scared it will be an A cup in a few years. It seems sad that my weight loss journey has come to this. I do have breast cancer in my family, so maybe there's a silver lining to losing my breasts this way. :(
