I am trying to get back to a healthy weight. I got to my highest weight ever during pregnancy and even gained a few pounds postpartum, and now I am trying to lose about 50 pounds to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I’m down 11 and have a good ways to go.

According to the American Cancer Society, almost 50 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented if women maintain a healthy weight, avoid tobacco products and get regular cancer screenings. And all of those are so easy to do! To help out, the American Cancer Society has a program called “Choose You” that helps women put their health first. The program offers social support and financial incentives to give you the motivation to meet your goals!
