    From early february until now I've lost on average a little over 0,5lbs per week. However, in the beginnning I was slacking a bit when it comes to logging so some days are not logged/improperly logged etc.

    These last three weeks I've been logging super consistently and as accurately as I can, and during this time I've been losing about 1lb per week. Feels a bit too much for me though, I'm pretty lean (~128lbs, 5'6"), and I've calculated that this would put my TDEE at around 2000kcal, which is more than I expected. If that is actually my maintenance level, I'll obviously be happy with that, but I'm waiting to collect some more data over a few more weeks until I believe that number. (I've believed for a long time that my maintenance would be around 1700-1800kcal since I'm not very active.)

    I have been losing since 1/1/2014. I lost 20 lb in the first six weeks, partially due to edema from anemia finally getting treated, and overall I have lost an average of 1.51 per week over the last 69.5 weeks.

    When I first started with MFP, I was eating 1950 calories. Now I eat 1760 calories. I eat back an average of 50% of my exercise calories, some days less. I am not comfortable eating back a lot of calories so I actually set my goal to lose 1 lb. a week and underestimate my burn. In the end, It is all working out well for me.

    ETA: to directly answer the OP's question: some weeks I lose, some weeks I show no loss or even a small gain, and some weeks I get a "whoosh" where I lose a bunch. I have had 3 stalls where I went 3-4 weeks with no loss, but it all started up again.
