question about water weight?

When you first start losing weight, how many lbs lost is classified water weight before you lose actual weight?

This thread actually explains water weight and glycogen really well: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/993576-why-you-gain-weight-if-you-eat-more-than-your-cut

5 or so, but it depends on a lot of factors. A rapid loss within the first week or two is mostly water.

I would guess the first 3 or 4 lbs is water weight..having said that your weight will go up and down with water weight all the time.

I don`t think you can classify the water weight loss, it really, I think, would depend on your start weight and what you eat/calorie goals.

I may be wrong?
