Hello Teresa,
40 lbs in 6 weeks!!!! that is amazing!! I am 4 months out and have lost 51 lbs. So please do not be discouraged at 40 lbs. what kind of exerises are you doing? It could be you need to change your exercise routine. I found that helped me. In the beginning I only did the elipticals it was easier for me do to my size and only walking the treadmill. But I changed the routine into interval training. If you do the treadmill trying adding an incline, that burns more calories. If you are just walking around your neighborhood thats ok, but find a hill and walk up and down that hill. If you are going to a gym start weights. You will not see results overnight but I bet within a couple weeks you will find your clothes are looser etc.
You also need to get FAT out of your head. You cannot let yourself think like that. Think," I have lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks!!! I bet I can lose 10 lbs this month." Do not think in big numbers. Think small then be pleasantly surprised if you lose more. Negative thinking will only bring you down and you will not be as motivated as you would otherwise would be. I have lost 51 lbs in 4 months. That is not a big number.But guess what, I have gone from a size 24 to a size 14. How many people can say that?? that is my motivator. You need to find out what yours is. May be you can say if I lose 10 lbs this month I will go out and buy me 3 bright, cheerful blouses. (not sure about you, but all my fat clothese were dark, the bright colors will cheer you up)
Hang in there, the weight loss will come!!!

I am walking my neighborhood. My driveway has a hill so I do alot of walking. I also am doing resistance bands and we have some hand weights I have been using as well. I have already gone from a 5x to a 3x and I am so looking forward to being able to buy clothes without a X in them :)
I am not comfortable going to a gym yet but it won't be long :) I have several friends who do Zumba so I might try going soon.
