I need to lose 40lbs

November 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. January 2021 had a double mastectomy. March 2021 start chemotherapy causing me to gain alot of weight. October 2021 I get my next surgery date for breast reconstruction. Because of all this weight I gain I need to lose at least 40lbs so they can perform my next surgery. I was told I was a high risk.. so its time to make some changes..

Looking for some motivational friends.. Add me !

    That is a harsh task to undertake on top of your recovery. Sounds like you have some good motivation though and a set end goal to focus on. Planning is going to be key I think; how can you maximize your calorie output and where can you make changes to your food to optimize your calorie intake?
    I am still new to this healthy living tuff, but I'm happy to help with any advice I can think to give.
