    I set mine for 1 lb per week. When I achieve more than a pound, I am even more encouraged. Most times I have lost around two pounds; however some weeks I average one. The smaller goal makes me feel better about my progress. That's just my opinion.

  • One pound, definitely. It is much easier, and you will be less likely to put the weight back on afterwards if you lose it slowly, in my opinion.
