Be very careful when you advise somebody to lose that much weight in such a short time, especially a person who is overweighted since many years:

If such an obese person loses weight very fast, his skin hasn't the time to contract itself in that short period, so there's a huge risk of having too much loose skin. Many of these people are so embarrassed with their loose skin that they see no other option than a tummy tuck.
You can avoid loose skin by losing weight slowly: you don't gain pounds of fat overnight, so don't force your body to lose these pounds in a short period.
