Pounds per week?

How many pounds per week should I be aiming to lose? I’m about 126 right now and I’m aiming to end up around 110. So I’ve got about 15 pounds to lose. I have my goals set at losing one pound per week and that puts me at 1260 calories per day. Is it better to lower my goals to .5 pounds per week or keep it where it’s at?
