AAAHHH!!!! I couldnt believe it when I saw the scale .. I lost 13 lbs in just one week.. I know it doesnt sound right or healthy, but it wasnt all just from my hard work ... I had some problems and had to get a colonoscopy done and with that being said I had to clean out my system I also was only allowed clear liquids the dday before the procedure... so I only had a cup of chicken broth that day ... I just hope that the weight will keep coming off... I was in so much shock that I got on the scare like 4 times to keep checking .. I also had a doctors appointment today and his read the same thing... That really just made my day today .. well Good Luck out there to all of you!!!

    Same thing happened to me I lost 8 pounds in under a week, but I'm pretty sure most of that was just water weight. Regardless, I'm still pushing myself to the limit.

    Wow that's great! I knew there had to be an "up side" to a colonoscopy. Hope all is well with you. Congrats !:happy:

    Congrats! Even if a lot of it is water weight, it's still a great start and I'm sure a huge motivator! :flowerforyou:

    Nice isn't it........
    I lost 7 pounds in one week when I had food poisoning.
    I just kept at the diet the next week and kept losing steadily, none of the 7 pounds came back.
    I was really sick but the 7 pounds made up for it!

    Congrats! Even though some of the weight came off due to the situation you were in, I bet even more came off because of the effort you have been putting in! This is a great catalyst to get you fired up and ready to keep on with your plans. Great job, good luck with your next weigh in :wink:
