I weighed in this morning, and was shocked
to see a 6.8 lbs loss.granted the 1lb a week lately
had me miffed, considering all the exercising and
precise tracking i have been doing.
But 6.8 lbs how did this happen??? is it normal
to sometimes drop more all at once?

    It's most likely water weight. Are you after your TOM? I can drop up to 4 lbs the week after my period.

    Yes, it is. Especially for women... Women tends to gain around their period - which means if you are actually loosing fat you will stay around the same weight- then drop dramatically after you finish. My wife (who is also dieting) does this every month.

    Ive found that happening w my tom. Ive also had it happen in spurts too. Like the first 2 wks I lost 9 lbs, a wk later only 2 lbs. Ill be losing 1 or 2lbs a wk, then all of a sudden lose 3 or 4 another week. I read somewhere that people sometimes lose weight in spurts. I dont know why. My guess is body chemistry changing, muscle changing, etc.

    Mine TOM was last week and I only lost .4 pounds as of Saturday's weigh in. This week, it is Wednesday and I am already down 3 pounds. I am sure it was just water weight last week. Now the scale is catching on what I lost last week and this week.

    I'm going through the same thing. For the past 3 weeks, have only lost 1 lb per week (which is fine... scale is going DOWN). This week, I'm already down 4 lbs, and my weigh in day isn't until Saturday. (TOM was 10 days ago, so no excuse for me there). I've noticed I go in weight loss cycles... 1 lb... 1 lb... 1 lb... BAM! 5 lbs! It could just be your metabolism. Just keep eating properly and working out, and it'll all be good.
