    Congrats! Scale weight tends to move pretty fast in the first week or two when one starts calorie restricting**. Don't get discouraged if it slows down or even hovers for a bit sometime in the next few weeks.

    ** Scale weight also seems to stall out and sometimes increase when someone takes up a new exercise program, even when calorie restricting. For those starting a new exercise regime, don't get discouraged when you calorie-restrict, and the scale doesn't budge or even goes up during the first few weeks.
