Trying to Lose 35kgs in 4 months - is it possible??

You might be able to do it but you will probably need to be in the hospital by the end. It's extremely unhealthy to cut that low, especially for an extended period. Weight loss that happens that quickly is also not likely to be maintained. Just from personal experience, I was never able to be successful until I became okay with "slow and steady wins the race". When I used to try, I would give up if I didn't see major leaps in short times. Now I realize that any progress is good progress and in a year I will either be more or less than I am now. Even if I only lose 1/2 pound a week average, that's 26 pounds less that I will be next year which is certainly better than being what I am now. I lost around 45 pounds and then took about a year and a half off from working on it. In that time I not only didn't gain but also lost a bit because I learned how to eat, not how to restrict, in the time that I was "active". I'm now back to it and I have the same outlook that I had last time. Quick results are nice but lasting results are much, much better.

Plus, the faster you lose, the more problems you are likely to have with loose skin, strictly from a vanity point of view.

Plus you'll get loads of loose skin etc with rapid loss

Also known as the crash and burn diet.
You are one of those that will make a "starting again" thread in a few months time.

Unless you seriously alter your weight loss plan.

Sorry to be so blunt, but its just the truth.

Hi,
so I started my MFP journey at 107.1kg's that was on the 9th of May, it is now approx 18 weeks later and I have lost 15kg's. I have been eating incredibly well with no limits (i.e. no cutting out junk food, just the amount of junk food that's eaten) and started off with a 1730 calorie limit and am now down in the 1500's for my limit, I have exercised as well but for the past three weeks due to an accident I have been unable to exercise.
(my average weight-loss a month is between 3.2-3.6kg's)

My suggestion would be don't be too drastic!! The weight didn't go on quickly, it won't leave quickly, besides being drastic is a surefire way to end up binging on all the foods that you like and can cause all sorts of problems including muscle loss, period issues, hair/ nails etc. Also weight-loss is not linear - I always put on weight due to water retention at my TOM, more exercise = same thing, there is also no way that your body is going to react to foods the same ways even if each day is the same.

A healthy intake is 1200calories a day and I would recommend you start eating around there, if you're enjoying your exercise continue to do it and as it gets harder increase your effort and resistance.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you want motivation or to see my diary for ideas.

Honestly eating 800 calories a day hasn't made me feel ill, lethargic, irritated, weak and tired. I've actually been feeling really great. I use a stationary bicycle for 30 mins a day. I'm almost two weeks in on this regime and I'm down 5kgs.

It can take weeks, even months for the effects of such a low calorie diet to become apparent. Right now you are feeling good, but your hair, your skin and your organs are slowly but surely deteriorating. And by the time you realise your hair is like straw and your skin is rough and dry it will be a bit late, it will take a very long time to reverse that kind of damage. Trust me, I know.

77 pounds in 4 months is just not realistic. Also your daily calorie goal of 800 calories is not ideal either for long term success. Weight loss is a process.
