Your current BMR is 2120 calories, and that's if you do no exercise at all.

If you eat 1400 calories a day for 2 months you will lose 720 calories a day in fat.
720 x 60 = 43,200 calories is about 12 pounds of fat los (3500 cals per pound of fat).
Mix in some exercise and I bet you get close to 20 pounds fat loss.
You could burn an additional 300 calories a day in exercise, giving you another 5 pounds of fat loss over the same period. |
I'm not sure about this. You need to make sure that you're eating enough protein so that you aren't losing muscle instead of fat. I don't think calorie deficit automatically equals fat loss, it could be muscle loss too.

On another point, I used to be a 12-18 beer or 6-12 oz vodka a day drinker, for years straight. When I got the motivation to lose weight, and realized that drinking was hindering that, I stopped gladly, and I haven't gone back to it. Replacing it with something that I thrived for made me give it up pretty easily.
