We are all on the road to loosing weight together and did you know that one of the things loosing weight does is help your risk for cancer. Obesity is one of the higher factors in people who get the cancers listed below. It is researched, however, I am not saying all people who are obese get it, because there are other factors that play key to these as well, but just imagine, if you can take any factor away that you can, why not do it!
