    It happened to me during the first week of my regimen. I would agree with water weight being the main reason for the loss. I kept my calorie intake to 1000 per day and would run for an hour in the mornings and bike for an hour at the end of the day. I am 5 foot 8 and 210 lbs. Still a long way to go but I do agree with the 2 lb loss per week being the safest way to become fit/healthier. o:)

    At your size 1000 is already quite low...but if you aren't eating the calories from running/biking back, there's no way your body will be able to keep that up.
