You lose some pounds but also your hair & nails would weaken tremendously, complexion will get dull.
I think you have a perfect weight already.

You need at least 1200 calories a day. Don't worry because you will still lose some weight. You can actually calculate how many calories a day you can take without you getting fat, this is how. multiply ur weight (in pounds) by 10%. take your weight and subtract the answer from the first. then multiply the answer by 15. for example, if im 200lbs then 200x10% = 20. Then 200-20 = 180. Last, 180x15 = 2700. So i can take 2700 calories without gaining any weight. In your case you can take about 1620 calories without getting fat. If you take more calories than that you will gain weight. And remember that 3500 calories burned is equal to 1lb of weight lost. Doing cardio is still the best way to lose weight and a much faster way too. Hope this helps you.

Enjoy the hospital, that's where you'll end up, if you don't die. Two reasons:
Too much water causes something called "water toxicity" - didn't you hear about that woman who died trying to win a Wii? That's what happened to her.
Anything less than 1200 calories a day NEEDS medical supervision to ensure your body doesn't shut down. (People who are on less than 1000 calories a day are usually on bed rest to keep from passing out.)
So, to answer your second question - how much will it take to be 100 lbs? I'm going to say about $100 grand in hospital bills.

you want to keep your calorie intake at around 1200 a day. It is extremely unhealthy to go lower than that, especially at only 120 lbs. If you really want to make a difference in your appearance, get on the treadmill, do some free weights eat well and drink a lot of water- wouldnt you rather look like jessica biel than nicole richie? when people can see your bones through your skin, it's pretty freakin gross

That doesn't sound healthy to me. Try a balanced diet with some exercise. It takes 3500 calories to lose one pound. So you can lose 1 or 2 pounds a week on a healthy program.

you're 120lbs? just multiply your weight by 10 so that's 1200 cal... that should be enough calories to help you lose weight safely
good luck
