    that's excellent! Just don't get discouraged when that rate of loss doesn't continue!

    Awesome! You're going to drop faster in the beginning than as time goes on but any loss is a good loss! Keep it up :)

    Awesome! Remember - you usually lose MORE in the first week than you will on the regular basis. But keep it up!

    yes congratulations... but make sure you are aware of the fact that the first 5 to 10 pounds usually comes of really fast as it is mostly water weight, and your weight loss rate will slow down.

    Just don't let that deter you....

    Seeing that initial loss is exactly what got me motivated to continue. I could see that it was possible!!! Great job and keep up the fabulous work.

    I lost 8 lbs in my first 5 days.. then it slowed down to like 2 or 3 lbs per week.. The most important lesson I learn was to check the body fat percentage! Becuz most of the weight I lost was water in the beginning.. Now my body fat percentage goes down weekly!
