    My roommate in the Army lost 100 lbs in just under 4 months by going on the Atkins Diet and spending 4+ hours a day at the gym.

    She gained it right back after we finished basic though--your metabolism slows WAYYYYYYY down and you have to continuously artificially increase it via exercise or you blow right back up.

    Also she had horrid stretch marks she would not have had if she had lost the weight more gradually.

    Additionally, get a new boyfriend, even if he is scientifically correct he is emotionally wrong..

    You could lose a lot more than that in an instant. Dump the idiot boyfriend.

    BAHAHA! Sorry, made me giggle.

    I don't think that's at all healthy. It could probably be done. Maybe. They do it on the biggest loser, but it's with serious training and medical supervision. They also don't have to hold down a job or take care of a home while they are there.

    Get a new boyfriend because obviously he doesn't care enough about you to have your well-being in mind.

    I cannot believe how hard most people in here are attacking the boyfriend.

    I can, although I always wonder if it were reversed and a girlfriend were saying something ridiculous would the same advice apply?

    I'm at a loss for words. I can't think of any way that you'd be able to accomplish that (healthy or unhelathy). But he obviously has no concern of the damage you could do to your body while in the midst of trying.

    I think you can loose 200 lbs immediately. Dump your boyfriend. (100 lbs in four months...no.)

    really it's about you. Do you want to try to lose 100 pounds in 4 months? It would be rough, it would hurt, probably a lot. What happens to YOU if you don't make it and fail at such a rough goal that probably isn't good for you? The boyfriend leaves? Do what you want to do. If he's ignorant of what it takes, then he will just have to educate himself. If he is placing conditions on you, take back your own sense of power and call his bluff. Your body, your way, no other options.

    Usually not. All he did was make an uneducated assumption while trying to motivate her to hit it hard. That is it, according to the OP. Didnt give her crap, didnt call her fat, didnt say he was unattracted to her.

    my "a**hole boyfriend"

    If this is what you think of your boyfriend, you need to get a new boyfriend. By ditching him, you will probably lose will over 100 lbs and it won't take you 4 months either! Seriously, you need to get rid of your current boyfriend as it does not sound like a healthy relationship.

    IDK why I kinda worry about the boyfriend reading this "poll" as "proof" and seeing he was called an A-hole by his own GF and then subsequently called a hyoooooooooooooge amount of names by strangers who only had one side of the story and could not discern HIS tone if it were kind and motivating and only based on watching inspirational stories on television.

    I kind of want to bake him some cookies. With nuts and coconut. And chocolate chips. And a drizzle of white chocolate on top. And then sprinkled with more coconut. And then put back in the oven for 5 minutes to toast that coconut. And then served with a hyoooge glass of milk. And a laptop signed up to "match.com".
