I have recently moved to a prep town. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a prep but one of my best friends are. THe problem is that people out here don't know me. Back when I lived in the ghetto (about a month ago) guys liked the curves and the booty and the breats but guys here just see it as a turn off. Maybe if i shed a few pounds they can look beyond who I am on the outside and see the real me.
Everyone I used to know, knew me and accepted me. I was considered nice and fun to be around and even sexy. But here its just a completely new world and I live to far away from my old friends to see them often and every day it gets harder and I seem to get more down.
If anyone could help me loose this extra 40lbs it might turn my whole experience around, and I can start fresh.

You shouldn't "change" just to be accepted....your new, so it will take a while for peopel to warm up to you.....thats just the way people are. If you wanna drop 40lbs to feel better about yourself.....then go for it.

However just to be "popular" again......if you did loose it and thats your "motivation" then I doubt it will stay off.

and whats all this have to do with being a "prep"?

Just do whatever makes you happy, if you think the weight is going to hinder you from thriving in your new environment than lose it. When in Rome do as the Romans do...

Explore the site, it is an extremely useful source on general weight loss.

If you've only just moved, maybe people haven't had time to get to know you yet!
