Is it healthy and possible to lose 100 pounds in one year?

Answer 1

Not likely. That would equate to almost 10 pounds a week for 52 weeks. A person of that size, who had that much weight to actively lose, would probably die from numerous other health issues before they got a chance to try and lose it. However, a person COULD lose that weight in theory. If a person was active enough to burn about 4,800 calories PER DAY for a year, they would in theory have burned off 500 pounds.

Answer 2

Yes. Healthy weight loss as defined as a maximum of 1-2 pounds per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, thus it is possible to healthily lose a maximum of 104 pounds in a year. There are many other factors that will attribute to your weightloss however, such as your age, your starting weight, gender and race.
