I am a 28 year old woman who would like to lose 40 pounds. I never really had issues with my weight before but in the last 2 years I gained 40 pounds. I guess I am on here to find recipes and for the support. I still don't know what diet will work best for me because in addition to having this weight to lose I suffer from allergies to the top 8 allergens which makes dieting three times more harder. Hopefully I will be able to find others on here who are going through the same thing and are able to lose weight.
