Hiya, I've just joined just over a week ago and love being able to keep track of my calorie intake ... I think I've finally found the answer to dieting and staying on track! Anyway my question is this: is it possible to lose 4lb in the first week?! I haven't changed that much of my diet, just avoiding snacking, eating a healthy breakfast and eating more fruit! I weighed 154lbs when I first started and am 5"5. :)

    definitly possible....especially in that first week of eating clean. Remember, alot of it is water and not "weight" or fat.
    I lost 5 lbs my first week. Just keep sticking to what you are doing..stay within your calorie total and remember, in a couple of weeks, it's normal to lose 0.5-1.5 lbs a week. I have prepped my mind that in a couple of weeks it will slow down....that's normal!
    Great job! You will be at your goal in no time!

    Thank you !! I had a feeling it would be mostly water weight :) I can't believe how much I used to eat before this calorie count has definitely made me realise :o

    Fat weight? No... Muscle/Water/Fat? Perhaps, though unlikely...

    Possible, sure, but as others mentioned, it will be mostly water weight and then it will slow down after that. Take a look at this link, it's very informative: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants?hl=Guide+sexy
