    Wow that is a really tough goal! You may need to re-evaluate your goal. Work on eating at a deficit and exercising 5 times a week. That will be the best you can do healthily.

    That's about 3.7lbs/a week. Unless you're really heavy to start with, I don't think that you'll be able to maintain the deficit required.

    Half that /might/ be doable though. What's your current height/weight?

    44 pounds in 3 months? Sorry, that's not going to happen without drastic measures. And I'm sure your fiance would prefer you happy and healthy on the big day rather than skinny and sickly.

    Unfortunately, I really don't think it's possibly with your stats.

    You may be able to do 1kg/week (~2lb) for a little while, but you want to get down to ~50kg and at that point it will be hard and likely unsafe.

    To lose 4lbs in a week, like you desire, you need a deficit of 2000 calories a day over the week. At your starting weight, that entails overexercising and/or, essentially, not eating.

    No one is going to help you do something unhealthy and unattainable. Sorry. Lose what you can in a HEALTHY manner and have a nice wedding.

    So you're around 10st8 and you want to lose enough to be around 7 1/2 stone in 3 months?

    Wow.

    I'm afraid that is so not happening.

    It's taken me 5 months to lose 2 stone at a 1lb a week loss on average.
