    That's probably almost all water weight. It's normal for the body to shed excess water once we start to eat better and get enough water, etc.

    Possible? Yes.
    Likely? Not so much.

    More than likely its water weight as mentioned above. However if you have a LOT of excess pounds to shed (if you were morbidly obese) you tend to lose a lot rather quickly in the beginning.

    Also, you're eating less food, so you'll be missing the weight of the actual food in your belly.

    My little trick to drinking more water--every morning I fill up this handy little half gallon jug I keep sitting on my desk at work. Every day I drink 1 of those plus a juice--over the course of an 8-9 hour day. Once that is empty I know that I got my 8 glasses or so a day. Also, I have found that keeping that on my desk and junk out of my desk drawers keeps me from going downstairs and getting junk food.
