Yes, You Can Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 2 Months (and Keep It Off) — Here's How

Although everyone's body is different, in general people can expect to lose one to two pounds a week if they are doing so in a sustainable manner. "Over the course of two months or eight weeks, a healthy weight-loss goal is eight to 16 pounds," White said.

Losing weight at this rate ensures that you'll keep it off for the long-term. If you have more weight to lose (50 or more pounds), you may lose more weight in the first few weeks, but in general, about a pound or two a week is a healthy target.
