21 lb in 8 weeks did i do good?

At work we did a weight loss challenge and i lost 21lb in 8 weeks, i am not sure if this is a big compliment or not, some of the weeks i gained weight and some i did not lose any and i feel like if i had worked harder i could have lost more.

21 lbs in 8 weeks is very respectable. you have to remember that there is such a thing as losing weight too fast, so thats a pretty good rate. 2 lbs/ week is what you should be aiming for based off your ticker, and your just over that

keep in mind however if you are just starting out then a good chunk of that weight was from water loss, but still, great job

I think you know the answer to that question. Don't worry about being over 2 lbs/week right now - you would have to go to extremes to lose "too fast" at the moment. Just keep forging ahead and making progress.
