Feasibility of High Levels of Energy Expenditure From Physical Activity During a Weight Loss Intervention for Breast Cancer Survivors

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that breast cancer survivors who need to lose
weight are able to follow a weight loss program which combines modest calorie restriction
with a graduated activity program..

Feasibility will be assessed by 1) the number of women that complete the 3--month program; 2)
the number of women that can achieve the targeted amount of physical activity per week by the
end of the program; and 3) the median amount of physical activity achieved group by all
subjects that complete the program.
