How much weight per week?

I'm curious as to how much everyone averages to lose per week and what one thing helps you stay on track the most. Thanks!

Hi there, I set my weekly goal at 0,5 kg. I managed easily, and lost even more than envisaged during the first 2 months. It slowed down a little but I am more or less on track. The only 'secret' for me is to stick to my calorie limit. I still eat every day a little treat (mostly chocolate or cake) but I keep the portion tiny. So, I have the feeling not to miss out on anything:)6

I have my goal set for 2lbs a week, and usually hit around a 1-2 lb loss. These past few weeks have been rough, because my baby sister passed away. So, I let myself grieve and handle it my way. But, today I decided to get back at it, and ready to hit my goals again. Life is unpredictable and things happen that you can't change. Although tough, I don't want to lose sight of what I can change to become a better person. It's not just about losing weight, it is what I learn on my journey.12

I set my goal to lose 2lbs a week but I think that 1250 is too little for the amount of exercising I'm doing. I barely lose .8 lbs every other week and three weeks prior I was at a plateau.2

my goal is 1.5lbs per week and I weigh weekly. But although a 1lb here and 0.5lb there crop up, I have a spreadsheet that tells me how many weeks I have been logging and I divide total weight loss by number of weeks every now and then. Thisreally helps me with plateaus as I can see that even when weight doesn't drop for a few weeks I am still averaging a 1.4lb loss per week3

Up until last week I was averaging 3-6lbs a week.
Staying under 1200kcal. Last week I lost 1.6lbs and I think it's because I'm getting closer to my goal weight.1
