So after today I will have been dieting for 1 week. To this point I have lost 10lbs, and I am suprised that much has come off in a week. Is it common to have a big weight drop right off the bat, and does the weight loss tend to slow down after that?

    It will slow down. Glycogen in the liver holds the water. Once it has worn out it will slow down to 2-4 pounds a week - max. More is unrealistic and unhealthy. So.. don't get too exited weight loss takes time. Keep on good work.
