Deficit 750 too high?

I am trying to understand the whole 'calorie deficit' & whether or not 750 is too high?
I'm trying to lose 1.5 lbs a week, because I want to lose a minimum of 10 lbs by the end of July. Any advice would be appreciated!

Well, if you want to lose 1-1/2 pounds a week, you need to be at a 750 calorie per day deficit. There is no other way. Weight loss is simple math in the end. But figuring out the defict from what and sticking to it is the hard part.0
