80 pounds to lose quickly. Any suggestions

I'm currently weighing in at 248 and would like to lose about 80 pounds. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can lose the weight, preferably quickly? I know that slow and steady wins the race but I don't want to lose my motivation with slow weight loss and stay at this weight for another year.

Yes - I have some great suggestions (in the order listed below)

1. Be kind to yourself and be kind to others (you’ll be surprised how very much your attitude effects your progress)
2. Log in everything single day.
3. Log everything single thing you put in your mouth.
4. Eat clean 80% of the time.
5. Move every single day (I recommend a FitBit but any pedometer will do) and track your steps. Every little bit counts!
6. Drink water until every single pee (except for the first one in the morning) is clear and odorless.
7. Do an exercise at least three times a week that gets and keeps your heart rate up and REALLY do it.
8. Do an exercise at least three times a week that will build and tone muscle and REALLY do it.
9. Each week make sure your calorie intake is below that red line.
10. Decide that weighing less is not as important as being healthy and looking good (unless you are a ballerina or cheerleader and someone is lifting you up because then it actually matters how much you weigh)

Follow my amazing ten step plan at least 80% of the time and in just 80 short weeks you’ll be 80 lbs lighter and all for the amazingly low cost of a friend request

My advice? Change your mindset.

I've lost almost 50lbs in less than 9 months. That's with gaining 13lbs over Christmas and a few weeks of hiccups along the way. I'm afraid unless you go to very extraordinary measures (generally bad for you and unrealistic) you aren't going to lose that weight in less than 10 months if you exercise a lot and are strict to the extreme.

Sorry!

Don't listen to the naysayers. 2 years ago I lost 80 pounds in under 4 months.
You have to watch your diet o am exact. Count every calorie and don't drink
Your calories unless it's protein. Weight all your food and make sure you're not
Over serving. Hit the gym as much as possible. I was in the gym 2 sometimes 3 times
A day,every single day. But only do as much as you can handle. Honestly I find that running produced
The best results. Walking hills is great ,that can build up your stamina to run. And if you miss a day of exercise
And decide to.eat every thing in sight DON'T make it a pattern. Get up,forget about it and move on. Keep exercising,stay focused,
And don't forget the goals ahead of you.
Good luck man.

Lol, if you juice and nothing but juice, then you'll actually be upsetting the macronutrient profile that one needs for sensible weight loss. This is nothing more than another diet that can't be sustained by the average person.

Are you saying humans cannot manufacture protein from fresh air? Are you sure?

Atkins and walk walk walk!

Well, do you want to start fast, lose 40 lbs in 3 months and then proceed to gain it all back and then some and need to lose 90 lbs NEXT January?

Really work on changing your mindset. Like you said, you don't want to lose your motivation and start next year weighing the same as you do now. You also don't want to weigh more than you do now. Wouldn't you rather just take it slowly and maybe weigh 40 or 50 lbs less next January instead of 40 lbs less by April but 10 lbs more by next January?

Last year I made a simple goal to weigh myself every single day no matter what happened the day before. I started gung ho on a diet on January 1st and by the 5th was gaining weight. I gained most of January and February, but then something clicked and I decided I would be happy if I only lost .5 lbs per week. I lost quite a bit for a couple months, stumbled mentally but maintained my losses, lost some more, then stumbled again and maintained some more. You can see how much I've lost since last year. Instead of motivating myself by seeing how fast I could make the scale move, I focused on eating and being how I want to be for the rest of my life and worked on accepting that it was way better to lose slowly but keep it off than to lose quickly and gain it all back plus some.

This years resolution is to continue weighing daily and also to log every single thing I eat every single day, no matter whether it's good or bad. I'm hoping it'll keep me losing at a nice steady rate.

Wow! No need to be so sarcastic.
I'm not expecting to lose all 80 pounds in a month or maybe 3. But I would like to get tips on how to lose more than 1 pound a week. I know that there are many people on this site do it in a healthy way. And that is the type of feedback that I'm seeking.
So please don't attack so quickly.

Any deficit over 500 calories a day will give you the "more than 1 pound a week" loss you seek. At least for a while, depending on how much you overdo it.....

Liposuction?

Seriously though, there's no safe way to lose 80 pounds quickly. However if you just don't think about it, and exercise it'll melt off before you know it.
