Loosing 100 lb in a year is a mighty goal. It can be accomplished with hard work and paying special attention to your diet. There are 52 weeks in a year so it would be your goal to lose about 2 pounds a week. 1 pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. so in order to lose 2 pounds a week you will want to create a calorie deficit of 7000 calories a week. that is 1000 calories a day. Reducing your food intake and spreading your meals out to 5-6 a day is the first step. This will keep your metabolism high. the second step is to partake in a weight traing/HIIT cardio routine to burn calories and boost your metabolism. also avoid sugary foods. they prompt your body to produce high levels of insulin. Insulin triggers fat storage.

This will get you started. DO RESEARCH! there is a wealth of information on this site to help you.
