Participants were 16 short\u2010 and long\u2010term African American breast cancer survivors.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Nine out of 16 participants gained weight following diagnosis and treatment and most participants were concerned about these changes. Most participants were also interested in diet and exercise programs; however, a holistic and common sense approach to diet and physical activity emerged as key themes.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: Although prior reports have found that African American women in the general population report a greater tolerance for larger body sizes, most participants in this study were concerned about changes in their weight and were actively trying to minimize weight gain. Several themes emerged regarding physical activity and dietary behaviors; overall, participants described a holistic and practical approach to these behaviors.
