"Post Pregnancy" weight loss challenge

Here we go again: trying to lose weight... I have about 40 Lbs I want to get rid of in the coming month. My goal is to lose the first 30 Lbs till the end of the year and the last 10 Lbs by the end of next February. I started last week, with going running and trying to eat better. Cut out sodas and beer (That's a tricky one), less fast food and drinking lots of water. Let's see how it goes.
Wish me luck...
