I have been so active lately. on the treadmill, walking outside, and doing exercises on my xbox kinect. I also have changed my diet and have incorporated more vegetables. But I didn't expect to lose 3 pounds this soon. Is this normal? I have been checking the scale and did that about four times and It says I have lost 3 pounds. I think I don't believe it because I feel as if im doing things right when I look up on how to lose weight on the internet...

I believe each person is different-I lost 16 pounds in 30 days so yes it is possible to loose 3 pounds in 2 weeks. Congrats too0

As a rule of thumb, the following weekly targets would give a balance between minimizing negative side effects and seeing a reasonable weekly weight loss:
More than 75 lbs: 2 lbs/week
40-75 lbs: 1.5 lbs/week
10-40 lbs: 1 lb/week
Less than 10 lbs: 0.5 lb/week
