Unusual Weight Loss

I'm finding my weight loss very odd. I started in july and lost 6 kilos in 3 weeks, then another 2 kilos in 4 weeks. then i fell off the wagon a bit and was going over my calories. it took 2 months of being off the wagon for me to put on just one kilo, and for about 3 weeks i was eating more than double my calories, but i still only gained 1 kilo. then i started up again. two weeks later id only lost half a kilo. one week later and id lost another 2.5 kilos. Im very excited to have such sudden drops but im worried that somehow im doing something wrong, and in a week im going to put all that weight back on. i dont drink enough water (only 6 glasses a day) but before my weighltoss i wasnt drinking any water at all, not even one glass a day. My calories limit is pretty high (150). When i first started i was exercising a lot, but then i stopped after 3 weeks and still managed to loose weight. Since then i have done my usual 10 min walk on weekdays, but nothing more, until this weekend AFTER loosing 2.5 kilos i started exercising again. It just doesnt seem natural for my body to drop large amounts quickly, and i dont feel like im doing a lot of dieting or exercise, so im worried it might just be water weight or something like that? Has anyone got any ideas?

    bump- this happens to me (drops not as large as yours but weird none the less)- no loss or minimal loss one week, then 3lb loss the next.... i never used to drink water but i am now, but not exercising even a smidgen of the amount i should- however when i fall off the wagon it doesnt seem to affect me greatly (maybe bc i dont fall off for long so maybe its the same for u??)

    dont sweat it though, although im not claiming to be an expert i doubt youd lose that much water weight. whatever u r doing its working- enjoy it while it lasts- if it starts to stall u may have to up the ante so roll with it for now!! good luck!!

    Thanks! its good to know im not the only one. Seems like ur very similar to me!

    Thats some good advice! heres hoping it last for a while lol and after that i probably will have to step up the game. But i will enjoy it for now.
