    Slow and steady will be healthier in the long run. Losing 40 pounds will take less than 2 years. If you push it you risk so many issues and set backs that it will end up taking you longer than the 2 years.
  • Lots of slow, deep stretches right after your workout. And if you don't already have one, I definitely suggest finding a foam roller. Rolling out hurts like crazy, but it works miracles on sore muscles.
