    I am 40lbs away from my goal

    Wait, what? Why do you want to lose 100 if you are 40 lbs from goal?

    SO this.

    Also even 40lbs in 5 weeks is ridiculous if that's all you have to lose.

    she wants to lose 100 in total, she is 40 LBS aways from reaching the 100 goal?
    Thats what i am thinking.

    if she needs 40 LBS to go she has exact 6 more weeks from today. that would be 6.666666666 lbs a week.
    I dont think its possible

    He definitely helped me not understand better.

    Do yourself a favor and either
    a) eat healthy, exercise, and attend the wedding knowing that these people care more about you than they do your size
    b) decline attending the wedding, if the only thing they care about is the size of YOUR dress. (which is highly unlikely)

    Do your sister a favor, pick a) and drop this overly aggressive goal.

    She doesn't need you passing out at her wedding because you starved yourself to get to a goal weight. It's her wedding, all eyes should (and will) be on her.

    Why, Why for crying out loud are there suddenly so many threads for losing ridiculous amount of weight or burning stupid amounts of calories in a short time? Seriously, did people just wake up from a coma yesterday and realize summer is only a few weeks away? SMFH!

    Pool season starts this weekend! :P I am still waiting for a thread on "How to lose 20 lbs before Memorial Day".

    To lose 1 lbs, you need to create a calorie deficit of 3500.
    If you want to lose 100 lbs in 6 weeks, that's 16 lbs in a week, and that would come to a weekly calorie deficit of 58300 calories (give or take, of course, if my calculator isn't lying to me).

    I'm with the others: No

    If you are overweight, a 2 lbs loss per week is sustainable and healthy. In the beginning, you may see a bigger drop, but that's most likely water weight.

    But, as MrDisk pointed out, your stats will determine the most realistic goal.

    Edit: Even with the new info (40 lbs til July), the same deficit rule applies.

    that's about right. Breaking it down doesn't make it any more possible.

    Oh I know, I was just trying to give her an idea.
    If breaking it down would make it feasible, then I would break down everything into numbers all the time!

    LOL, Right! Long weekend on the way. Oh and by the way, couldn't care less about getting that flag from whoever. My bu**$it reservoir is filled to the max and if it spills over on you, it's your own da*n fault.

    WOW, how was this response flag worthy? Very reasonable observation and advice.

    Because it's not helpful in getting her to goal! Even if goal is dangerous and unreasonable.
