How much weight should I lose in a 700calorie diet

Technically a woman is not ment to eat less then 1000 calories a day . But 2.4 kilograms is good in two weeks

a) You should not be in a 700 cal diet. Other than in very rare cases, that is much much less than your body needs to function normally.
b) There is a general guideline that you should not lose more than 1% of your body weight in a week. So lets say (for easier calculation) you lost 2 kgs in two weeks, that means 1 kg per week. That is only healthy if you weight 100kg or more. You should not strive to lose more than 1% of body weight per week, because what you have to do for that would deprive you of nutrition you need and anyway not teach you any way of eating that will be healthy or sustainable in the long run.
c) You can use MFP to calculate the calories (and deficit) you should eat for your stats (weight, age, height) and weight loss goal. It will never 'allow' you to eat less than 1200 cals though, because that is already maintenance for a lean, short person. I am for example only 1 kg over an 'underweight' BMI, and only 160 cm tall, my maintenance would still be 1300-1400 cals. Which is about double of what you are eating right now.

You are setting yourself up for a breakdown, yo-yoing or in the worst case an eating disorder. Please stop that diet and find a reasonable long term goal you can also maintain later and live healthily on.

Just please be careful as u could put your self through malnutrition and become really ill.. is that what calories it gives u each day to have when u put your weight in what u want to be. Because I no mine will only let me loose up to 2lb a week and my total calories a day is 1200

If u don't mine me asking but what is your starting weight ?

I've been on a 1200 calorie diet for nearly a month and I lost 0 kgs,, I tried low carbon high protein diet, and I gained 0.5 kilograms,,, I'm really desperate!!

How are you determining your intake? Do you use a food scale for solids and measure all liquids? Are you using accurate database entries?

.... Or do you eyeball portions?
.... Scan packages without weighing?

I weight everything and count every single calorie I consume

Have you been to a Dr for tests to determine why your metabolism is so dysfunctional?

I walk quite a bit but I wouldn't say I get up and exercise. Have you tried the 1200 calorie diet whilst going to the gym or even get a toning tube you can use that anywere
