75th percentile,: You want to go down to 8th percentile in 3 months.You need to loss weight about 40 lbs. The healthy way is lossing 2 lbs per week which is only 24 lbs in 12 weeks. I am not sure if you can do it by being on vegetable or liquid diet x 3 months. Can you starve that long ? Think about doing it slowly with lots of exercise.
