Is it possible to lose 1lb a day considering i'm overweight though laziness, not food?

OK, I dont work a vigorous job, infact I work at home.  I walk from my bedroom to my lounge everyday.  I'm overweight by 44lbs but I eat alright now.  My weight has plateaued and has stayed this weight for years and years.  I used to be a skinny kid until I was 22.  Then I stacked it on, bad food, weight gainer shakes, medication, alcohol, the works.  Will my weight reduce faster as i'm not active and thus when i become active, it falls off quicker than ordinary, say overweight and working all day?

I want to lose 44lbs in about 44 days.  Is it possible as i'm overweight because i'm inactive and not through poor diet?

No, that isn't a realistic goal.  Even for someone who is a good 100 pounds overweight, fat loss is slow, usually 1-2 pounds per week.  Someone who is morbidly obese  could lose 20-40 pounds over a couple of months on a medically supervised  plan that would only provide about 500 calories a day.

It's pretty easy to drop 4 pounds of waste and water weight in a few days, but once that's initial "cleaning out" happens, fat loss takes time and a daily calorie deficit.

Your goal is probably unrealistic.  To lose 1 pound a day you must expend 3500 more calories than you consume.  So, if you do not increase your activity level, you must eat 3500 fewer calories than you are accustomed to.  Activity/exercise can reduce that - but can you maintain that regimen?  would it be safe?  Many diets say it isn't safe to eat fewer than 1400 or so cals a day when dieting . . . . my doctor said that he regularly went to 900 calories a day when he needed to lose weight.  But at age 52 he died during a diet period.
