you should be proud of even asking and putting ourself "out there" ... there is so much advice I could (and will) give you if you want it... i just really wanted to get on here and say "Way To Go" for having a goal, asking the questions and committing yourself to your goal.

40 lbs is a bit less than 1lbs per week... that might be an easier way to look at it... and, from everything i have read, that is a reasonable amount to loose a week, 1lbs or so...

what are your health issues? do you binge? are you able to workout (ie any physical issues)...

remember, we ladies are not doctors, or personal trainers, or dieticians... so it is only my experiences that i can share ... and i have tons of it!!!

A plan is what you need. You don't have that much work ahead of you. I went from a size 24 to 12 between Aug 09 and Jan 10 (70 lbs). If you can afford it, talk to Metabolic Research Center. The plan is slightly costly, but you weigh in twice a week for accountability, and to make sure you are staying on course. I love it. I am healthier than I have been in many many years. All the best!

have you tried keeping a food journal for a week to see what you calories and schedule are like? how often do you eat? how much? could you make a better choice?

same thing for exercise....
