Don't even try it, it's not healthy.

It took you a long time to put the weight on, it needs to come off slowly as well.

I disagree, but not just anyone should try. If you are 40 pounds overweight and still at least partially active, I believe it is VERY possible. I used to weight 205 (6'1")...and gained allot of weight through mainly inactivity and drinking alcohol. I've recently recommitted to getting back in good shape. I am 33 and decided to take the low carb, high protein route, while working out at least 30 minutes a day and walking 5 miles a day...I lost 6 fat pounds in 5 days. Water intake is very important as well. There are allot of resources out there for losing weight. The biggest issue I see is with being committed to the ideal, and not getting side tracked. Positive reinforcement first thing in the morning is key in my eyes...from post-it notes on the frig, to scheduling daily activities. My point is that it is very much possible and not unhealthy unless you are in very bad shape. People are genetically different so it may not work for everyone!
