6 lbs in a week??

semira6

I'm quite confused. This weekly weigh-in indicated that I lost 6 lbs in one week. I thought it must be a mistake with my scale, but I went to someone else's house for other reasons and used a much more sophisticated scale only to receive the same result the next day. I weigh myself several times in a row each week to make sure I have the correct daily reading, but that can't be right can it?

Let me know what you think.

6 lbs is possible... I lost 5 lbs this week. I weigh myself everyday, so I KNEW that I was losing that much all along. Congrats on the loss!

If it said it on more than one scale I would just be happy & take it!

Unless you think you're not well or have been seriously undereating or something.

I lost 5lb the week after Christmas just from going back eating normally after overeating for a couple of weeks so it can happen!

congrats on the loss. A number of things could play into weight loss. accept the loss! pat yourself on the back and keep striving for your goals. good job!

Lets do the math. 6 times 3500 equals 21,000.
Unless you burned 21,000 more calories than you consumed in a week, the rest is something else, usually fluids and sometimes muscle mass.

It's definitely possible. My scale has been stuck on one number for three weeks, then somehow between Monday and Friday of this week I lost 5 pounds.

Oh Yeah its possible, 2 weeks ago didn't have anything out of the ordinary for my week and lost 5 1/2 lbs. and this was 32 months into my journey and over 300 lbs. lost... followed that up with my normal 1 pound loss the next week so I know it wasn't water weight..... Congrats!!!! Pat yourself on the back and keep pluggin away........ :drinker:
