    Welcome.
    Are you alright with sharing why 80 lbs in 3 months?

    So... you basically want to lose a bit more than 6 pounds a week. First, that is NOT a healthy rate of loss, it is far too fast. It is likely to lead to regaining if what you do to lose that weight is not sustainable. Second, even if you were very morbidly obese, losing that much each and every week is pretty unlikely. Actually, first first, it would take a calorie deficit of roughly 3000 calories PER day to lose that much weight. Which means your TDEE would have to be even higher than that to even reach that kind of deficit. Probably not very likely either. Have you done any research at all into healthy weight loss and what is reasonable?
