    From one Leo to another -

    You can do this!
    40 pounds in 3 months is totally doable.
    Eat less, move a lot more, fall in love with exercise and healthy food.

    (my bday's just one day after yours)
  • Thanks im starting to love exersice I worked my way up to 40min twice a day!! I want to make this a life style

    Good luck, however, I think 40 lbs is a bit ambitious and you'd do much better to aim for 1 to 1.5 lbs a week. Yea, that means 13-20 lbs instead of 40.

    To be more serious: It's not gonna happen. Sorry to be a downer, but unless you want to seriously risk your health or get surgery done, 40 lbs in 12 weeks isn't going to happen. However, if you're willing to put in the hard work, do it right, and change your lifestyle to an active and healthy one, then you can lose 25 lbs by your birthday - definitely a great start!

    Just remember:

    There are a lot of people on here with great knowledge on getting fit and healthy. Use them to your advantage, they'd be more than happy to help. Get friends for motivation and support. However, this is on you. If you're not willing to dig deep and get it done yourself, no one on here is going to do it for you. You got this.

    Will you lose 40 pounds by August? Probably not, but you can sure work hard and eat better and TRY. Your best is all you can do.
