I starts using the app three days ago. I have lost four pounds. Now, what am I losing? I can't be fat so quickly surely? I gained 1.5 stone in just over two months I think due to meds.

    So does this go back on or stay off if I keep it up?

    should stay off.

    but when you eat food high in sodium, you may find you gain some water weight

    The amount of stored water can change fast, it can be demotivating when the scale shows more weight again, but remember that, because it will probably happen.

    But fat also binds water, so you will lose more weight, than just the simple amount of fat.
