Is it possible that a 240lb 16yr old female lose 100 lbs in 9 months?

Possible: Such dramatic weight loss is possible. It would hopefully occur under a doctor's care. Such weight loss occurs with bariatric surgery, but a sustained restrictive diet can do this.

Yes: To lose 100 lbs over 9 months, you would have to take in 1300 calories less per day (or burn 1300 calories more per day) than currently. The combination of diet and exercise is always the best.
