    2lbs a week with 7lbs to go is a great way to lose muscle mass you'd rather keep.

    What would be your suggestion then?

    These are the general recommendations. I conceded the 1 lb/week because you are 20 lbs from mid-healthy range, but you can see that's pushing it.

    What is a good rate of loss for me?
    1-20 lbs to lose- .5 lb/week
    21-40 lbs to lose- 1 lb/week
    41-60 lbs to lose- 1.5 lbs/week
    61+ lbs to lose- 2 lbs/week

    BTW, if you are already at a healthy weight for your height (I don't think we have your stats), it's possible you may be happy just focusing on fitness goals and changing the shape of your body, not necessarily your weight.

    This is where you may consider a recomp- adding muscle (therefore firming up and looking slimmer) while eating at your maintenance calorie level. There is more about this on the Maintenance board.
