Weight
Okay, we have 8th grade prom comming up in about 8 months and my friend weighs about 230 pounds and she was to lose about 80 and that will leave her at 150. So, if you divide 80 into 8 that will be 10 pounds a month, So if i divide 5 into 10 that would be 2 pounds a week. Do you think my friend can lose 80 pounds in 8 months or so?????? We have already talked about her eating habits and exercising and drinking a lot of water.
14/f ( If that helps )

Most doctors recommend losing 1-2 pounds per week, though she might lose more than that in the first couple of weeks of her new lifestyle.
The easiest thing to say - and hard to do - is to exercise more and eat less. She should go see a dietician for an eating and exercising plan that is tailored to her needs. Losing weight too fast can lead to a range of problems, including her not getting her period anymore.
A general rule of thumb is that the slower and more steady the weight loss, the less likely she'll be to gain the pounds back. After all, it took years to gain the weight, and it could take a couple of years to lose it!

Umm . . . Maybe . . . No comment. . .It depends on her . . .

If your friend eats healthily and exercises, she could lose around a pound a week. If she loses more than that, it might not be healthy, so keep an eye on her eating habits so she's eating enough.

Well... 3,500 calories equals one pound so cutting down 500 calories a day will help her lose about one pound a week.

yeah i think its possible if you have her back and help her through the process.and it also sounds a healthy amount to lose in a week.but for some reason i think she might take it too far and turn it into a eating disorder,but im probably wrong.so good luck

80lbs
8 months
10lbs
1 month
She will have to lose more than 2 pounds a week.
Because there are not 5 weeks in each month.
Losing 10 pounds a month shouldn't be too terribly difficult.
Keeping it off ~ may prove to be a bigger challenge.
You said '230 pounds and she was to lose about 80'
Was that 'has' or 'wants'?
If it's has~ then, whatever. Best of luck.
If it's wants~ I wouldn't put so much stress on it.
