Sometimes the title of this post is a recurring theme. I sometimes think that the diet industry and television tend to make people think they are failures if they aren't dropping an insane amount of weight each day and/or week. So, since I'm a numbers person, here's my take. My scale goes in increments of 0.2 lbs so I'm going to work with that.
0.2 lbs / week x 52 weeks = 10.4 lbs in a year
0.4 lbs / week x 52 weeks = 20.8 lbs in a year
0.6 lbs / week x 52 weeks = 31.2 lbs in a year <-- this is actually where my GP suggests I aim
0.8 lbs / week x 52 weeks = 41.6 lbs in a year
1.0 lbs / week x 52 weeks = 52 lbs in a year
Remember, most of us are looking for long term, sustainable changes to our lifestyles. It may not be flashy, it may not be super fast, but remember that even the small losses add up.
