I have hit my first month goal. Yay! But that being said, I know the first pounds come off easier than the rest. But, I started my weight loss journey last year and lost 40 pounds from April - Oct. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Aug., and had my first surgery at the end of Sept. I had 4 surgeries between Sept. 20 - Nov. 30. I didn't gain any back, but I haven't lost weight since my first surgery. This diet bet and step bet have me moving in the right direction again.
