    A pound a week, almost 2100 calories. Hopefully once I quit drinking regular soda I'm going to up it to 1.5 a week.

    I aim for 1500 a day.

    I aim to lose a lb a week and I do that. :)

    I worked my calories from a website called scooby doo. It's brilliant!

    I set MFP up for 1-1.5 per week and it has me on an 1860 calorie per day target. Here's the big thing, though. I really don't care all that much about the scale. I only plan on weighing myself every other week. Maybe in a little while I will weigh myself once a week. See, scales SUCK! I much prefer NSVs. For instance, yesterday I wore a pair of pants that are one waist size smaller than I've been wearing. Over the past three weeks I've noticed my clothes fitting better, I have more energy, people have noticed I've lost some weight, and I don't get as winded as I have in the past.

    Don't become a slave to the scale. If you're gaining muscle and losing fat YOU ARE WINNING!

    My goal is 2 lbs a week.

    I have my calorie goal set to 1500 a day, and am exercising daily, burning approx 300-400 a day.

    Right now im losing 5 a week, but im just starting on my path, and im heavier, so I know it comes off quicker right now, and will then slow down .

    I don't lose weight easily at all. As long as it's not a positive number on the scale, I'll call it a victory and keep plugging along.

    I eat about 1800-1900 cals on in 'inactive' days and about 2000-2400 on the days I work out. I am male, 5 foot 11 and 284 lbs and have been losing 2lbs on week doing this over the last month.

    To get an idea of what any of that even means though, you really need to be getting more information from people... such as How much they currently weigh/have to lose, for example. Otherwise, this questions is really kinda pointless.

    That's true - I have only been tracking since Jan 1/14 an dropped way more than 2 per week but I have LOTS to lose so I expect that it will slow down fairly soon. Hopefully when it does I will still lose at least 1 lb per week. It does make a difference when you set your activity level when you make your profile. Sedentary VS Lightly Active VS Moderately Active VS Very Active will all make a difference.

    2 lbs a week at 1200 cals a day, but I am losing way more than that because I am super pudgy.

    2-2.5 pounds is what I aim for, but I lost 4 pounds my first week o.e
    I try to eat a net amount of calories of 1200, but I usually have about 1000 calories of exercise per day P:
