Too Fast?

I joined this website about a week ago and I have been trying to hit my goals for calories every day and usually I am a tad under maybe by say 40 calories. I have also been working out everyday except once this week. Somehow I dropped 7 lbs already even though my goals were set for 1 1/2 pounds a week! I am eating my exercise calories. Is this too fast?

    Usually, in the very beginning, we lose the most. It's water weight. You should slow up soon.
    Congrats on the 7 pounds! NICE! :flowerforyou:

    weight loss can be fast right at first. doesn't it feel great. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: don't expect that every week. If you are eating healthy and being balanced about exercise then you are on the right track.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    My only advice would be to NOT get your hopes up and expect those big numbers every week. I did, and I was sadly disappointed. :smile:

    Give it a few more weeks, then you'll know if you need to make adjustments.
