    You're probably fine. I lost 10 lbs in my first 30 days even though I had it set to 1 lb a week. It was probably some water weight. I'm also 5'7' and only going from 162 to 135 so I was astonished that I lost 10 lbs so quickly when I only have about 30 lbs to lose but mine has slowed down to 1 lb a week now so I'm not worried. As long as you feel OK, it's probably fine, just make sure you eat enough.

    If you aren't feeling any adverse effects, I doubt you have anything to worry about. However, from your original OP, it seems like you shy away from fat (forgive me if misunderstood). Fat is not your enemy and is, in fact, essential to your health. I love nut butters, fish, avocado, olive oil etc because they help me get healthy fats and they be delicious.

    Not all fat just bad fat if that makes sense. :)

    No, it not unhealthy. Most people just say 2 lbs a week max because that's more realistic. In the beginning I was consistently losing 3-4 lbs a week, if not more. Now that I'm down 50, I'm slowing down to 1-2.5 lbs/wk. Congrats on your loss.

    Everyone looses weight faster or slower depending on the person's body... I have lost 44lbs in 2 months but I am also much larger than 267lbs... as long as your tracking your nutrition, you are eating enough, and getting enough vitamins... then its fine!!! Don't listen to everyone telling you losing more than 2lbs is unhealthy, that is poppy.... Ok I can see if you dropped 10-15lbs over 7-10 days then I would say something is off... but otherwise I think your doing great, lets do this!!
