weightloss

Options
I have been on a diet and exercise for a little over a week now. I have to weight myself every morning because I have CHF. I have weighed the same but I got on the scales this morning and have dropped 5 lbs. I thought I would gradually see the change daily instead of it disappearing overnight. Do you know if that is normal?

Thanks!

    That does seem like a big loss overnight, unless perhaps you had been experiencing fluid retention or bloating? x

    I would say water weight has a lot to do with it probably. Don't get discouraged though, it can be a great start to something!!

    My feet and legs swell some. So that means I have been retaining some water and it is bad for my heart. If it is water weight I'm glad.
