Consider that a head start.3 -
Food prep.
Have your food ready to eat or ready to heat and eat. Put the calories in the meals section and log them ahead of time.
The less decisions and work you need to do when you're hungry, the better.1 -
That is awsome response, i was thinking of doing just that-1

Why is the last 2lbs so important? Just for a numbers sake? Because 2lbs shows no significant difference on the body, unless you're like 4'11" and weigh like 95lbs. If you're 120lbs, 122lbs only shows the difference on the scale.

Im trying to loose 2lbs per week
When I had my goal at 2 lbs. per week MFP suggested 1200 calories per day. It was much too aggressive for me starting out. I would do it for a few days and end up binge eating. I changed it to 1 lb. per week and have been successful and my calorie allotment is much more reasonable for me.
I definitely suggest meal prep as others have stated. I also pre-log my meals, I find it helps.
Best of luck to you!1 -

Based on your stats, your BMR is approximately 1411 calories. Now even if you added daily activity and say 300 calories of exercise to your day, let's say your at 2000 TDEE. Losing 2lbs a week you'd have to eat 1000 calories a day or less. AND THAT'S NOT GOOD. Your body will retaliate by slowing metabolic rate more and any weight loss will come to a crawl.
That's why trying to lose 2lbs a week for you isn't a good idea.
