    yes, you can, as long as you honestly stick to the daily calorie number given to you here! And log EVERY SINGLE THING that you eat.. just do things right :)

    You weigh 120 lbs and are trying to lose over 2 lbs a week. No. Nope. Stop. Not going to happen, and you are going to a) hurt yourself and b) f' up your metabolism big-time if you try.

    Please find someone you can talk to about this.

    This x100 - unless you are extremely short; but even then a 2.5lb/week loss is a little steep.

    Honestly I would shoot for a pound a week, it's more realistic and you won't burn yourself out. An hour a day on the treadmill and a restricted diet will work just don't go as drastic as 2 hours a day and too low of calories:-)

    With only 32 lbs to lose you should not expect or try to lose more than 1 lb or so/week. otherwise a large % of your loss will be LBM, not the fat you are looking at losing.
