40 pounds is a real result and the pace you got there matters as much as the number - building habits that make the maintenance period easier is the work that happens in parallel with the loss. glad you found the forum

40 pounds changes how everything fits and feels and moves - the practical difference in daily life at that level of loss is hard to fully communicate before you experience it. good to see it working
great result. the combination of dose calibration and consistency is what produces this kind of outcome without the miserable side effect burden that pushes people off protocol. you found the right pace
