in Health and Weight Loss
When I started My weight was 360 that was on January 13th ten days later I'm at 350, I'm eating about 2200 calories a day and I'm doing Mark Rippetoe's "starting strength" program also very light cardio like walking the dog for 20 mins every other day. But still I am having hard time believing that I lost 10 pounds of fat. Pls help!!

    At your size it's not unusual.

    Whenever you first cut calories you have a big water whoosh. The higher your start weight the bigger the loss. It will slow down after a few weeks (2-4 weeks likely. ) Best of luck to you :)

    Water, plus you have a higher starting weight than many.

    If you are eating like you should I wouldn't worry.

    Also, this isn't too crazy for a man...see off season football players/spring training.

    ETA: Good work!

    Normal

    You don't need help

    It will slow down and over 6-8 weeks your average will be closer to a "normal" healthy weight loss

    Good luck
