So i'm 15 days into MFP and i am already feeling so much better about myself.
I thought i'd face the scales this morning just to see if i've lost any weight and couldn't believe it when i saw i had lost 8lbs!!
Is this normal? i've never been on any weight loss programme before so I want to find out if anyone else has lost that much weight as quick as i have?
either way, i'm so chuffed!

yep this is possible!
in the first couple of week you do tend to loose more, usually a big number you think cant be right
alot of it is to do with the change in diet, all the water retention and bloating goes down. i like to think of it as your body giving itself a little detox haha
your bodies getting used to being all healthy and lovley! it wil perhaps slow down to 1-2lbs a week
keep up the good wor 8lb is still great even for the first weigh in!!
well done xxx0 -

This-- the weight loss will slow down- Don't get discouraged when it does!! At first, this is always normal. Good luck!!0 -
Yea I lost 10lb in my first two weeks then it slowed right down to .5lb or 1lb. It is just the way it is. I like to see it as your body saying thank you for starting, I shall reward you with this big loss and the rest is up to you
Well done, keep up the good work.
