How fast should I lose weight?

According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy weight loss is in the range of (up to) 1–2 pounds a week, but always be sure to check with your doctor for specific guidance which takes your unique history into account as this is just a general medical guideline. Research shows for most people trying to lose weight sustainably, six months is a good benchmark to expect to see changes. Don't be too disappointed if you sometimes see your weight stalling, as this is normal. In fact, weight can fluctuate by a few pounds each day, at different times of day. When you use weighing yourself on a scale as a means of tracking, it’s helpful to pick the same time of day every day so you can have a better understanding of changes over time. In order to lose 1-2 pounds per week, you will have to use 500-1000 more calories than you do on a regular basis. While this may seem significant, this is best done through a combination of changes in diet as well as increased movement, stress management, and sleep that you can keep doing even over time.
