Is it too much? IMO, no. It's high to shoot for every single week (like you said), but it'll happen sometimes. I've had 3 pound losses for the week without doing ANYTHING different, but then usually the next week I'll lose only 1, or maybe a half, or sometimes even none. I've had a gain on weeks I've done everything perfectly and have been expecting a huge number. There's really no predicting it.
Goals are great! As long as you are prepared for the fact that it may not happen the way you plan even if all the numbers and calculations say otherwise. Our bodies are not a mathmatical equations (I'm saying that now for my own sake as much as yours because I still expect differently sometimes). But, sometimes it DOES workout the way we plan! So there's always that!
Good luck!!!
