I'm 5'5 and had the goal of losing 1.5lbs a week at 1200 calories. For the past 2 weeks I've been gaining and losing the same pound. I'm frustrated!

As a rule of thumb, the following weekly targets would give a balance between minimizing negative side effects and seeing a reasonable weekly weight loss:

More than 75 lbs: 2 lbs/week
40-75 lbs: 1.5 lbs/week
10-40 lbs: 1 lb/week
Less than 10 lbs: 0.5 lb/week
