You will do it it's a great diet. I also need to lose 40lbs, My starting weight was 181.5!! Good luck

I too am starting at 189 and plan on losing 40-45lbs.  I ordered my book today so I will begin when I get the book, I have begun throwing out all the junk food we have. Did you order the workout DVD?

Thank you guys for the comments. I didn't order the workout DVD because I was even a 3 month membership to a local gym for Christmas. I have also started getting rid of all the junk food. (It broke my heart to throw out some of it!) I hope we all do well!
