I continually say that I appreciate the advise given. I completely understand the way a calorie deficit works. 3500 calories = 1 pound. Of course I didn't lose 2.8 of fat but it jump started me.

I have a Fitbit...use it everyday. Would love to challenge you and anyone else willing to join in.

I have a beautiful 2 year old little boy! During my treatments, pregnancy and even now I have been very overweight. My point being is even…
