How many pounds per week is your MFP goal set to?

How many pounds per week (on average) are you actually losing?

    Mine is set to 2, which is a high goal since I don't have a lot of weight to lose. First week I lost 2 then I've hovered around that for quite a while BUT despite not losing any pounds I've been seeing positive changes in my body. :)

    Mine is set to 1lb/week. I tend to lose just that or about half a lb some weeks.

    mine fluctuates because I calorie cycle. I am losing about 1 lb a week though, and i should be losing more based on my deficit according to MFP.
