It's a major sacrifice but as long as you do it perfectly, without breaking down and eating anything else once, you'll loose 40-50 pounds. During this time do as many push-ups and sit-ups as you can at home, and go for walks or jogs. If you live in an apartment building or work in a high rise office building, take the stairs as much as possible. After you drop the weight start eating a balanced diet including a good breakfast, and start working out, and you'll build up your muscle mass. You're young, your body can take that kind of drastic change. Keep in mind I'm not a doctor, but a couple of my friends have done this exact thing and it's worked wonders.
