Losing weight in time for my birthday??

44 pounds in under 3 months is too aggressive. At most you should be aiming for 2 pounds a week after the initial water weight loss, and even that could be too quick.

Congrats on deciding to make a change. As others have said your birthday goal is too aggressive and not realistic. You want to lose weight and stay healthy at the same time. However, 20-25 lbs. in 3 months is possible, so perhaps you can make a mini-goal for yourself and allow about 6 months for the total goal. Your first week is not representative of how much you'll lose in the future as in the beginning you lose a lot of water weight first. Then as your body gets smaller you require fewer calories and most people start losing less per week than they do the first few weeks. Weight loss is not linear.
