I'm trying to lose weight. Right now i weight 122. I want to drop like 10 or 8 pounds so now I'm only eating 1000 calories a day for 3 weeks. Do you think i could drop that weight in 3 weeks?

yes, and then gain back even more as soon as you start eating normal again.
that is how many calories people in coma get. it will slow down your metabolism dramatically, which will make fat loss in future even harder. besides by undereating the only thing you lose is water weight and muscle.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

yes but 1000 calories is dangerously low

most defiantly, it actually prlly not the best way u should diet specially if your exercising regularly....if your working out the most your should be getting is 1,500.....you cant just stop eating, it defiantly isn't a healthy to diet!
