    Awesome! Keep it up and don't be disheartened if week 2 or 3 are not as good, they probably won't be.

    If you're exercising also I would advise taking some measurements of your body as some weeks the non-scale victories can help to offset on-scale disappointment.

    This. Unless you ate 14,000 calories under maintenance last week (a very difficult and potentially dangerous thing to do), you lost 4 lbs of water weight. Seeing the scale move quickly, especially at the beginning, can be a really motivating thing. But as Paul points out, don't get discouraged if you see a leveling off or a slight gain in the next couple of weeks. Just keep your head up, stay the course, and try to remember that weight loss is not a linear process. Best of luck to you! :)
