I've heard alot of people say you should aim to only lose 1 pound a week, I honestly think I can lose 2 a week without much trouble at all, would I be risking more muscle loss if I lost more than 1 pound? How much do you think I should cut a week? I just want to cut 10-15 pounds of fat so i'll look decent for the summer.

I heard 1.5lbs is optimal...but it really depends how your body responds.

2lbs per week should be fine, if you start to go over 3lbs a week try to tweak your calorie intake a bit to suit as you might be beginning to lose muscle along with the fat.

honestly i did the same thing. but i was researchin, if you cut calories and stuff, you need to keep protein up , if you train hard, (protein shakes, and natural foods),
and you need a multivitamin, because when you cut calories you lose nutrients from food,
but i was loosin bout 2 lbs + a week , and i noticed some muscle loss, and strength loss,
went from 210-180, but starting to gain strengh back and good weight.
