Need encouragement

Have been slowly losing weight over the last couple of years by eating right but have also had three surgeries and radiation for throat cancer during that time. I am tired! Got off track with my eating over the holidays and am struggling to stay with my healthy eating plan. I weighed a high of 235 but am currently at 178. I want to get to 150 by end of year.

    You have been through all that you can definitely lose that weight. I think losing thirty pounds in a year is definitely achievable in a year :)

    Surgery and radiation can take a lot out of you. Your resistance was down from the radiation; that needs some time to be re-established. Don't give up.
