    Great job - don't get sad if you weight loss slows down and keep the motivation from this moment right now to keep you going

    8.4lbs in one week?
    What?
    How?
    You couldn't have lost 8.4lbs of actual body weight in 1 week.

    A lot of people lose large amounts of weight in the beginning because of water weight from changing their eating habits. No, it was probably not all fat, but water weight and bloating also makes a big difference!

    Congrats!

    wow, thats a lot in a week, excellent

    agree with kindasortache, don't be too down hearted if you don't keep up that sort of loss, but as a start that's fantastic, well done :)

    I know it was a lot of water weight but some of it was fat! I know next week won't be as much but I am just enjoying the moment for what it is.

    I lost 8 my first week too, I'm sure most of it was water, but it was so motivating. Keep up the good work!

    ^^^^ This

    Keep that motivation when things come back down to a normal level. This is great for week one, but it will slow down, just know that NOW!!!
