    That would be 12 weeks, which means losing over 3 lb per week.
    Are you over 400 lb?
    Because that's what it would take to be able to healthfully lose 1% of your body weight every week.

    If you're only 40 lb over the top end of a healthy BMI range, there's no way you will lose 40 lb of fat in 12 weeks.
    You could lose water, which will return when you take a drink.
    You would lose some fat, and some muscle (which is hard to regain).

    If you only have 40 lb to lose, a reasonable goal at first would be 1 lb per week.
    Very shortly, that will change to 0.5 lb per week as you get closer to a healthy weight.

    Read it several times, until the message sinks in.

    Take it slowly, do this right so you can maintain the healthy weight the rest of your life.
