Haha.. thanks for the kind words as usual @LiftHeavyThings27105
And don't worry I am not easily embarrassed 
I am still working on the updated post, haven't had a chance to put it all together. But it is definitely in the works.
Folks.......that will make some amazing reading. Give the young lady some time to get that written up. And then jump on it. There will be some details in there that can help everyone. Opps. There I go again! LOL!
You put so much pressure on this gal!! 0 -
Hey, you can more than handle it. I mean, have you seen your progress pics? LOL! You are strong af. Anyway, no promises, but I will try to slow down on "She is awesome" comments. Can promise a dang thing, though. :-)2

Where are your calories? And macros? Or, maybe better formulated: how big is your caloric deficit?
Deficit is big but everything is planned out per my program so it’s all as expected. Just venting a bit in my earlier post1 -

+1 = to the "pile on". See? I suggested that I would not be able to promise much. That lasted all of five hours....pretty much on the dot! Hey, look at that!1 -

Is anyone else a little creeped out by the turn this has taken?9

@bioklutz - We all (and I am taking liberties with the "all" part) have a genuine affection for her. She is a genuinely sweet person with an amazing work ethic, top notch personality and - in the context of these forums - is really smart. It is easy to go a little overboard with praise for someone like her. I really don't think that there is anyone here who is "creeping on her". We all know that she is married with children. That - I do not think - is not what is going on here. She is just one of those people who is really easy to like. And, I like to use my words! :-) And, I am not shy. Admittedly, I go a little bit overboard. Maybe some others do, as well. But, maybe not. But I do.0

I've been picturing a basement lair with a pit and maybe a shrine. Silence of the Lambs style. I've been a bit creeped out for a couple of days now. 6 -

All good, man! I understand the "hangry" part. Dieting sucks, but we all do it and we all power though using whatever method works. We are all different (maybe I have said that once or twice....). Keep on, keeping on, man! We are here.0 -

So let's get back to the topic, shall we?
I am on week two of cutting, how normal is it to keep dropping water weight? I am sure it will settle down soon, but typically, when do you all find it starts to slow down?0 -

...about a week if you go very low carb like Keto low. It took me about two weeks when I cut and that was at about 80-100g a day at first.

No I am definitely not keto low, I am not even low carb. My carbs are 150-300g or so0 -

I'd imagine then that there really should be minimal glycogen/water loss on that type of cut considering your height and weight. Although, if your workouts are sufficiently intense and you are depleting your glycogen stores faster than you are replenishing them that loss could extend to a few weeks, although I'm guessing that it shouldn't as dramatic as it is for some folks and 300g is probably enough to fill those glycogen stores right back up. 0 -

When I switched back to a deficit from maintenance-ish after the holidays in January I experienced about a week's worth of a quick drop (4.4 lbs in 5 days being the most significant) at around 150g carb/day. Hard to say what my carbs had been since we were visiting family out of town but I'm sure it was higher than normal those weeks of christmas and new years'.0 -
Thanks @jseams1234 and @steveko89.. I've had about a good 4lb drop in a week and a half (since I came out of maintenance into a deficit). I just wanted to make sure it's still water and I'm not losing too fast (which is actually a huge concern for me haha).1
