Hi Keisha,
To answer this specific question to lose weight the HEALTHY way so that it stays off, I would say you could lose approximately 30 pounds by your birthday and that would be a great start to losing the full 40! I am sure you are looking more to lose weight for the long term and not just one specific day, so 30 pounds would be a very REALISTIC and healthy goal to have set up for June 27th (and any extra weight loss you may see is just bonus results!). Good luck and feel free to ask another question if you need clarification.

Answer900 calories a day is too little, your body would go into starvation mode and then you wouldn't lose any weight. This would SLOW DOWN your metabolism and could wreck it for the long term. Based on your weight and age, you need age you need AT LEAST 1300-1500 calories a day to healthfully lose weight. I'm not really the "exercise expert" except to say, YES you can work out without going to the gym, outdoors is best. And if your core is your focus area focus on that while you work out. If a person diets without exercise 1. it's a slow lose and 2. you have no control WHERE the weight comes off. So exercise is great to do as well. I would also recommend talking to your doctor before you stat this new diet and exercise program. You can do it, good luck!
