    I'm always amazed by the power of the human spirit and determination. I'd say good luck, but if you're as determined and motivated as I think you are, you won't need it.

    But still, good luck! :p

    Happens to the best of us. I’m 51 with 22 pounds to shed, um, for approximately the fourth time. Never stop trying! You’ll kick butt!

    Reverse the numbers and be 36.

    I should warn you though it's a little disconcerting waking up on your next birthday to find you have aged 10 years and are now 46, I cried.

    Cheers, h.
    (On a more serious note, you can do this. Have a reasonable deficit. It will probably take close to a year to lose the weight so do it in a sustainable manner.
    Exercise. Start at an easy, sustainable level and include strength training as well as cardio.)
