I'm about 14 weeks into using the site and app religiously, and have my goals set to a 2 pound per week loss. Most weeks I lose between 1.5-2.5 lbs, so it's been quite accurate. However, I've lost almost 6 pounds just this week. What the heck? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Just find it interesting to have such a huge loss so far into the program. Now that I've typed this, I'll probably go on a month-long plateau.

    I`m not sure, but you might just have lost a lot of water. When the water in your body doesn`t have enough fat to bind itself to you can suddenly drop a few pounds just like that.
    I wouldn`t worry about a plateau though, if your weekly calorie intake is lower than what you burn off you will always lose fat as your body needs energy to function. That has happened to me a few times, I`ll lose very little one week and then suddenly drop a lot the next.

    +1 and to add to it: if you are now eating less sodium, that will also contribute heavily.

    The plateau you think won't happen, however your numbers should be coming down to more expected weekly loss soon-ish.
