That's .35 pounds per DAY. ie a 1236 calorie deficit every single day.

There might be other factors though. Depending on starting weight, diet, and exercise level it could be possible

You know there's only actually 284 days until Dec 31st, right? Not 365?

Technically, losing 100 pounds at a safe 2 pounds per week would take 50 weeks, ie almost a year. (I've done it in a lot less than, but I weighed 27 stone to start with and I was on 1000 kcal/day for most of that, which is not necessarily achievable for everyone!). You'll really struggle to do it in the 40 weeks you actually have.

Don't set yourself up to fail from the start by picking a goal that's not realistic.

Agreed, it took me years to gain 80lbs, I wouldn't expect to safely (and sanely) lose even that in a year. That said, if you log accurately and keep at it, there is no reason you can't get a good chunk of it off by the end of the year.

Good Luck with the journey.

I'd aim at 0.5-2 lbs a week don't push yourself to harshly as its a lifestyle change
100lbs took a while to come on sadly it takes longer usually to get it off
Our bodies will only do what they want tbh
I'd aim for 5-7 lbs a month thats 45-49 lbs then next year you'll be at goal
