I lost 40 pounds about 3 years ago, but never got to my goal weight. I regained 20 pounds, but I've lost 5 pounds since. I'm starting my new years weight loss now, giving myself permission to not face it for another three weeks would be disasterous. So, from my current weight, I want to lose 40 pounds.

(by the way, does anybody know how to spell check posts here at DU3, or should I just make sure that my browser has a spell check function?)
