Be more realistic .... Wknds are My downfall so I now have set calories goals to help me . Mon to Thursday 1125 calories a day , then fri to Sunday 2000 cals a day then is basically 1500 x 7 total . And not track exercise calories

Do I think I can loose weight doing it this way ?

Only way to know is to try it and weigh yourself several times a week for the next month. If you lose weight then your plan is working, if not you need to readjust.

As far as eating less during the week in order to eat more on the weekend, this strategy is fine. Your daily average deficit is really all that matters. The only problem with your plan is the size of that daily deficit. I feel like it's just too small to realistically be successful for you.

OP, I lose with a 250 cal deficit. Yes, it is slow, but not imperceptibly so. I'm lean to start with, so I'd rather go slow and steady with a small deficit. I also bank calories for the weekend, but not as dramatically as your plan. I only bank 150/day. I.e. For a target of 1500 daily average, I eat 1350 M-Th and have an extra 600 over the weekend. As previous posters said, small deficits require counting accurately. Try it and adjust as needed. Good luck!1

If you're patient, I don't see that there's anything wrong with a slower rate of loss. Especially if this ends up being a sustainable plan that works for you. That's kind of more the ultimate goal anyway. A slow loss is still better than no loss at all.2
