But 7 days of rigorously counting calories and scales say 2kg lost. I was only aiming for 1pound a week but i must've been underestimating the amount of exercise.

You have lost some water weight.1

Yep, likely mostly water weight along with some fat, that's pretty normal when starting out. If your losses don't slow to 0.5kg/1lb within a few weeks, then increase your calorie intake. Two kg a week is not at all sustainable (as I'm sure you realise, having set your goal to 1 lb
).

Fluid retention. Our bodies are made up of a substantial amount of water. The amount we're carrying at any one time varies. Reducing calories generally results in that amount dropping.1
