i have 5 months to loss 80-100 lbs { help } any ideas

This goal sounds so much like my own. I recently relocated and now have friends who are breaking their necks to turn my new destination into a vacation spot. My goal is to not be fat( or as fat) before they start rolling in. This new body I have isn't necessarily the body of my dreams and I'm ready to do what it takes to shed it. Every day is a new challenge but I think I'm getting on track. My goal is also to lose 80 to the 100 pound range. I know that sounds like a hell of a lot of weight in a short amount of time but I gained a hell of a lot of weight in a short amount of time so why wouldn't I be able to shed it? Can you imagine how good you would feel after reaching a goal of even 50? Let alone 80-100. You'd/we'd be walking on air. In my opinion it's more unhealthy to gain that much than it is to lose it. I say go for it and you can do it! Hopefully we can encourage each other. This site seems to be a great tool. Good Luck!!

280,000 / 150 = 9,333 calorie deficit EVERY day.

I think if you lose that much weight in 5 months it may be done in an unhealthy weight. The best weight loss is 1-2lbs a week. That would give you around 40 lbs.

^^^This.

But you can keep going & lose the rest after your vacation.

If you lose 10lbs a month that is still under your 80-100, but it can be done. When I first started out I ate my calories and did cardio almost every day and I lost between 9-12 lbs a month. And there was nothing unhealthy about it. And I don't have saggy skin either.

Here, I'll answer this a bit more than others who are trying to dissuade you from such a lofty goal. You can lose that much in a healthy and safe way.

First, it's called the Reverse Taper, which means you start with the lowest possible calories. That would be 1,000 calories a day. When consuming such a diet, it's important that your food is all clean. That means protein in the morning, vegetables in the afternoon, and protein and vegetables in the afternoon. As your waist line adjusts, increase calories. Roughly 100 calories for every 1 or 2 inches you need to lose, depending on how many inches you want to lose.

Don't just do cardio, but add resistance training so you can sculpt your body and turn it into a fat burning machine. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest. Though not a huge amount, what's not talked about is how many more calories your body burns when active when you have muscle, which is far higher, and has a greater afterburn effect. I have dropped 32 pounds in the last 2 months. I'm up to eating 1,350 calories, have dropped 8 inches off my waist, increased my strength and muscle.

You need intense workouts. Try some beach body programs, or just study up on some HIIT workouts. A very basic and beginner one is 16 minute 50-10 workout. Pretty much, you do push-ups for 50 seconds, take a ten second break, do lunges for 50 seconds, take a ten second break, squats for 50 seconds, ten second break, and Plank for 50 seconds and ten second break. Repeat four times. This workout comes from the book Max Capacity Training, which has a website with a clock you can use. You can do any workouts in that structure. Run outright for 50 seconds, walk ten, walking lunges for 50 seconds, walk ten, two legged tuck jumps for 50 seconds, walk ten, burpee forward jump, walk ten.

Find a workout that works for you and follow it, push yourself and work hard. And even if you don't reach your goal, your body will be radically different.
