what parts can i take off my bmx bike to make it lighter?

well my step-dad bought me this heavy bmx bike from wal-mart for christmas [i tried to tell him walmart bmx bikes are way too heavy, but he didnt quite get the point]. it weighs at about 40lbs and im only like 5'2 & 120lbs [im a girl by the way]. its pretty hard to do a bunnyhop [or whatever you call it] on it & i just want to know what parts i can take off to make it lighter.
10 points to the person that gives me the most advice!!
I also need for you to speak english because i am kind of new at the bmx parts and stuff.

You can't really do much to make it lighter, by the sounds of it its light enough already. Youll just have to practice jumps. =]

You could replace nearly everything on it except the chain and tires. Check out Dan's Comp. They have a wide variety of parts to make your bike lighter.

You cant get lighter and better brakes, wheels you name it. But the price of those will be higher than a Wal-Mart bike. Maybe return the bike and go to a bike shop, they offer way better bikes. But the price is higher because you are paying for quality. And always ask to test the bike.

If you take off parts what will you remove MAX 5~10 pounds. Is 5 to 10 pounds worth the effort of starting to remove pieces.
