One to two pounds of weight loss per week is considered a safe, gradual weight change. If you are able to lose two pounds of weight per week, you can lose that Freshman 15 in as short as two months. But if you are a little bit slower and maybe you can lose one pound per week, also a very helpful weight change, you might need as much as four months to lose that Freshman 15.
