When did you start your journey?
Which time??? This is a never-ending journey that I have fallen off and on for 20 years.
After losing weight, I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck in 2021, and I will be the first to say I’TS NOT AN EASY FIX. The weight comes back FAST. I gained weight after surgery.

Five months

I started eating less starch. Also, Coke Cola is my WEAKNESS, and I was drinking about three a day. Now I drink about two a week.
