If you're planning on losing 100lbs, then you should probably be planning to lose it over the span of an entire year. That way you'll limit the loose skin to a minimum, and hopefully you'll teach yourself how to eat properly. If you try the Slim-Fast method (and actually stick to it), you're going to hit your target weight, then balloon back up as soon as you stop the Shakes.

1. Plan meals
2. Determine the approx calories in the food and the servings.
3. Prepare a serving size that meets your caloric needs, but doesn't exceed them.
4. Start planning walks and exercise.
5. Plan your day so that you don't end up watching TV before going to bed. That's when you're going to get bored or hungry, and eating before bed is the absolute worst thing you can do. Set an alarm for when you need to go to bed, and have your wifi turn off for an hour at this time or lock your phone out or something to make you get into and stay in a proper sleep cycle.
6. Don't have any non-essential food in the home. Snacks, candy, cereal is bad for some people. If your willpower is lacking (you're fat, it is) then don't have that poo poo in the house.
7. Establish a cheat day where you treat yourself to something "junk-ish". Maybe you get a Big Mac meal, maybe you buy a personal pizza, maybe you have an extra portion of Lasagna. Give yourself a reward day so you are less likely to fall off the wagon. Don't make your cheat day a day where you consume 7000 calories or something stupid like that. It's supposed to be a day that rewards your good practices and teaches you what a treat is like (a small something, not a garbage can full of junk food).
8. Make a graph or a visible chart that you use to track your weight. Something that will show you your progress so that you can see if you're falling off the wagon and then correct it.

Thanks, yeah I am going to do all of those once I lose the weight so I can maintain 190.

I don't think I will get loose skin because I am very tall and I never got loose skin the last time I did this but if I notice I am getting some I will stop this experiment immediately.

OP have you thought about getting a prescription for Dexedrine? Just pretend you have ADD.

Slimfast and dextroamphetamine would be a sure fire way to lose it. You won’t even feel hungry.

Is it the same as Vyvanse?

Didn’t you say it was mid-2000’s last time you lost a lot of weight? Your skin loses a ton of elasticity as you age, chances are you’re going to have significantly more loose skin this time around.

dunno my friend, that sounds more miserable and more work than just getting some sort of medical intervention if you're that driven to do it. like, if you want to look at it terms of cost (or if it was me in your situation, I'd look at like a happiness/cost ratio or something) you'd probably be better off getting a side gig to pay for treatment instead of just cutting a big part of existence out of your life. but everyone's different.

I lost over 100 lbs a few years back and have basically kept it off. What worked for me was a food diary, which was highly educational. I have little self control but if I feel like eating I can usually make myself opt for say, popcorn, instead of cookies.

And I walked a lot. 2 miles a day. After the first few weeks it got much easier and eventually I really enjoyed it. It's a great mood improver.

But I must ask...can you teach me the magic of being able to fry onions/mushrooms/broc while it not being fattening?

Just don't... deep fry them? Also get a food scale from IKEA or something and get in the habit of weighing poo poo. 1 KG of white mushrooms (say) is 220 calories. Two tablespoons of oil is another 240 or so, and is easily enough to sauté even that much. An entire large onion is like 60 cal, so if you mixed all that for 520 you'd end up with an enormous amount of food for pretty drat low calories relatively. Not that you can eat just a big pile of it, but lots of veggies (even fried) are stupidly low. That's two pounds or so of food for less calories than two McDoubles.

Your plan is fine but I would probably switch to protein shakes instead of Slimfast just to help preserve your muscle mass.

Maybe even Keto protein shakes. Your brain will probably feel better adapted to ketones than just getting a rare glucose spike from a slimfast once in a blue moon.

At least you don't have to worry about passing out from the major food restriction as you would on a more physically demanding job.

Progress feels good, make sure you take note of all the little changes you see coming as a way of telling your brain that it's really working and you are succeeding. Also please make sure you really are getting the nutrients that you need.

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
So I've lost 60bs since Christmas by calorie counting and using the my MyFitnessPal app. If you're a man who engages in light activity you absolutely should not go below 1500 calories a day. When I started the journey the app limited me to about 2400, now 5 months later I'm down to about 1630 a day. You can, and should, vary your calorie intake to prevent your metabolism from getting used to your calorie counts and you SHOULD eat cheat meals to replace hormones that allow your body to burn fat more efficiently. Its a long road and its hard to sustain and its definitely unsustainable, and incredibly unhealthy to attempt to stay below 500 calories a day.

Do a handstand, swallow helium, wait till it rises up to a perfectly horizontal bit of your intestines and then stand up normally again. Try to keep level.

Do this every day until you are 100 pounds lighter.

The shakes are OK. It satiates my cravings for chocolate which is good.

Denying myself the pleasure of food is why this will work for me. Fish and oatmeal taste good and if I eat those I'll be back to eating entire jars of peanut butter by the end of the day. I'm a very all or nothing person.

If I eat a piece of fish my mouth is going to be watering all day, wanting a piece of steak or $5 bag of Doritoes.

I feel you. I did the 400 calorie a day diet for like 2 months when I was younger(21 maybe) and lost 40lbs and dropped to 160. So I feel you, I did the exact same thing and was just fine.

I don't know if I could do it now in my mid thirties without some trick like Keto. They make Keto shakes.

You can't cheat your way to success. Forming healthy habits takes time and effort and will not happen overnight- just start with small steps of cutting out the seriously unhealthy things you consume, maybe adding a simple daily walk, and go on from there.

Jumping into a heavy workout schedule after being a sedentary computer toucher forever is a sure way to fail.
