    1 whole leg and both forearms might do it?

    If that's what you choose to do

    That is unlikely even with surgery or liposuction. Seriously, don't even try it. You'll just end up sickly with drab hair and skin.

    Exercising in the time you have will likely provide the best change in your overall figure that you can hope for in such a short time.

    If you stop eating, drink nothing but water, and quit your job so that you can work out all day long, you may be able to do it. Unfortunately, you'll probably be in a coma by the wedding, but hey, you'll look hot in that hospital gown.

    I know a woman who lost 220 lbs in one afternoon.....

    She divorced her husband.

    Sorry, bad, and old joke, but seriously I don't know how this is possible (and even if it were, healthy)

    I recommend you enjoy the wedding as you are, and set longer reaching, healthy goals (and to do so for your own sake, not for the sake of any wedding photo or dress.

    Cheers!

    How heavy are you right now? What's your height and goal weight? Knowing that it would be easier to determine a realistic goal for 6 weeks.

    Oh ok, so it will be 100lbs total? The first post is very misleading. It sounds like you wanted to lose the weight in an incredibly short time span.

    Liposuction. Maybe. Otherwise that just isn't physiologically possible.

    No reason to be rude. You came here with a hilarious wish and got an answer just as hilarious.

    Look, its pretty much impossible to achieve that with such a short period of time BUT start losing weight NOW and you could easily achieve 14 lb by then. I know this doesn't seem like much but actually that would be a hell of a good start to a diet, and then after the wedding its up to you to lose the rest. 100lb is very achievable, but you need more time. Good luck

    To lose 1 lbs, you need to create a calorie deficit of 3500.
    If you want to lose 100 lbs in 6 weeks, that's 16 lbs in a week, and that would come to a weekly calorie deficit of 58300 calories (give or take, of course, if my calculator isn't lying to me).

    I'm with the others: No

    If you are overweight, a 2 lbs loss per week is sustainable and healthy. In the beginning, you may see a bigger drop, but that's most likely water weight.

    But, as MrDisk pointed out, your stats will determine the most realistic goal.

    Edit: Even with the new info (40 lbs til July), the same deficit rule applies.

    If you tried to lose that much, that quickly, you'd either end up in hospital or in a morgue.

    Wait, what? Why do you want to lose 100 if you are 40 lbs from goal?

    Aww dang, I was going to say something like that. I'd say that response was a lot more serious and credible than the original post.

    SO this.

    Also even 40lbs in 5 weeks is ridiculous if that's all you have to lose.

    she wants to lose 100 in total, she is 40 LBS aways from reaching the 100 goal?
    Thats what i am thinking.

    if she needs 40 LBS to go she has exact 6 more weeks from today. that would be 6.666666666 lbs a week.
    I dont think its possible

    Do yourself a favor and either
    a) eat healthy, exercise, and attend the wedding knowing that these people care more about you than they do your size
    b) decline attending the wedding, if the only thing they care about is the size of YOUR dress. (which is highly unlikely)

    Do your sister a favor, pick a) and drop this overly aggressive goal.

    She doesn't need you passing out at her wedding because you starved yourself to get to a goal weight. It's her wedding, all eyes should (and will) be on her.
