Typical first week results?

I realize I'm being incredibly impatient, but simply out of curiosity, what results did you guys see in your first week or so? I'm 21 years old, 5'5, and at about 145 lbs. I'm trying to lose at least 20 pounds.

I was 5'5" 147...now down to 140. That took me 2 months! There are so many reasons not to see the scale move. Take measurements, that way you don't get frustrated. Depending on your body type and such it may take longer to see a weight change. I've also heard this: after one month you start noticing results, after two all your friends and family will see a change and after three, people who hardly see you will notice. I don't know how true that is, but it sounds logical. Lol

I've lost 10 lb in 3 weeks or so. A few pounds a week is pretty typical, I think.
