How close are you to your ideal weight? You are female? Need more information.

If you plug in the numbers to MFP, it will tell you how many calories. 1 lb is what is usually recomeneded but if your extremely overweight 2 lbs is doable.

If you have 75lbs or more to lose, then 2lbs per week is doable for a little while.

We do need more information from you, OP.

You simply need a calorie deficit of 1000 calories per day. For most people, that will work best if you exercise from 60 to 90 minutes per day, so that you can eat a good amount.

Unless you're over 200lbs, losing 2lbs a week may be too aggressive. 1% of your body weight a week is the standard recommendation.
