Hello everyone !

Just a general question I started back on the weight loss game around 2.5 weeks ago now and weight myself every Saturday/Sunday depending on where I am...

My scales are telling me I lost 7.8 last week << Fabulous

However this week another conciderable ammount can this be possible I dont know if i'm tricking my mind into thinking the scale is lying to me...

My scales have new battery etc in them but just to proove a point i'm going out to buy another set today haha !

So was just wondering whats the most weight wherever in your journey you have lost in 1/2 weeks ?

xx

    The most I've lost in one week was 4 lbs, which was in my first couple weeks of MFP. I think a good amount of that was probably just water weight. (Also I fluctuate throughout the week, sometimes weighing a full pound more/less from one day to the next, which could be seen as a several pound weight loss in a week, but since it goes back up again, I just record the lows when I hit them, and if I'm too long at a higher weight, I'll record a gain.)

    i lost 6lb and this is my 1st week.
    not sure how true this is but i have heard that your 1st few weeks it is possible to have a high weight loss as you lose a lot of water.

    the last time i dieted, i lost 15 pounds in the first 2 days, it scared the crap out of me ;_; i'm thinking it was all water weight, and i'd amassed quite a bit from being so heavy and eating so much crap :P

    I lost 3lbs my first week i'm hoping to just loose the one or two they figure i'll loose. I have a long journey ahead of me and prefer to do it right and slow. So the likely hood of regain is not as high! :)
