Determined to lose 100lbs before I hit my 20's later in August! It is really hard to do so with my whole family being a little overweight or not having the best eating habbits. Therefore I am on my own and I could use all the support and tips I can get. I have dropped 40lbs before so I know I can do this! :)

    Tbh it sounds way too agressive. You can do it but it depends who you do it. Crash dieting , restriction and starving yourself. Normally young people have unrealistic expectations. Weight loss slows closer you get to target. Good luck.

    Why the need to hit 100 so soon? It took me 14 months to drop my first 100 and progress has really slowed since, but that doesn't mean you won't look and feel great along the way.

    More than 14 pounds each month? I know you said you lost 40 pounds before, and that is great! Please be careful striving for such rapid weight loss. Losing 100 pounds seems like a fantastic enough goal, and I'm not sure that the time frame is necessary. You could lose 100 pounds in around a year at a more reasonable rate of 2 pounds per week (the same rate you lost the 40 pounds before). Good luck!

    Thanks everyone! I know its seems quite aggressive and unrealistic but i'm the type of person who likes to do things as in breaking records. I am younger so I am hoping for a much better and faster metabolism rate. I do have a physician assisting me as well. Lets just see I how I do in the next 30 days. So far so good! Im not even thinking about the junk foods right now which is shocking! I can't be 244 when I'm 20. :/

    At 3 pounds a week, that's going to be quite aggressive. You might be able to keep that up for a month or two, but then the rate will drop.

    For perspective, I started last January at 248, and now I'm 192. 56 pounds in a year. You didn't put all 100 pounds on in seven months, so why rush to take it off?

    That is a quite ambitious goal. It is achievable but will not be easy. I truly hope that you are successful. If I can be any assistance to you or ig you need to vent some frustration to someone on your journey. Let me know. Keep us posted on your success.

    I used to weigh 222lbs as of September 27 of last year I currently weigh 182.4 I do not starve myself but eat a reduced calorie diet plus exercise 6-7 days a week. I lose about 1 or so pounds a week. You can lose the weight but that much weight in that short of time is not healthy.
