    I lost 8 pounds in my first week. Very normal. It's mostly retained water you've lost not actual weight. I've lost between 3 and 4 pounds every week since. Don't be disappointed next week when the loss isn't as high. First week is always the highest.

    I lost 7 the first week , and i have been on many diets and went to meetings and in the first week a lot of people lost between 4/7 lbs , so next week don't expect that loss

    It sounds like you have done really well! Congratulations.

    Weight loss is usually quicker at the beginning so don't get disheartened if it slows down over the next week or so.

    It's your first week, it is very common to lose more weight during the first week or two. After about three weeks the weightloss settles down to between 0.5lbs to 2lbs per week.
