  • Not without causing yourself some serious health problems and collapsing long before you reached your goal. Youre looking to lose just under 5 lbs/week at that pace, and you need to short yourself 3000 calories from your calorie requirements (approx.) to lose a single pound.

Next time you check, you should have made progress. If not, then maybe see a doctor to see if there's something wrong.
