Not healthy: This is not a healthy goal for weight loss. Eating correctly and getting exercise every day can help you with a reasonable goal of 1-2 pound weight loss per week. See a doctor or nutritionist if you want more help with this. Best wishes.

Hard to do: you should diet and exercise in a healthy way and shoot for a few pounds a week, which would be very good to aim for. Discuss diets and healthy weight loss options with your doctor. If you can see a nutritionist, that would be very helpful too. Good luck.

No: I would recommend a consultation with a nutritionist and a personal trainer if you are truly serious about permanent weight loss.
