    Yeah mine was about 6 lbs! I had a tooth taken out and couldn't eat as much as I used to because it was painful. Since then it's carried on and I've snacked less, I've lost a stone now!

    Congrats on your loss btw. :)

    I'll say it was my initial weight loss of 10 lbs. It's since significantly slowed down, but that was amazing to me!

    I lost 10lbs in one week when I visited Tawain with my then-bf. his family was taking us to places with the weirdest foods. I would taste everything but never eat the entire dish. I was afraid to get sick.

    Plus hours of hiking in the mountains burned a lot of calories!

    2 pounds. I'm sure most of it was water weight.

    My sister had a baby and lost 25 lbs in ONE DAY....:wink:

    Either way, most of these "big losses" can be attributed to water weight and aren't true fat losses, so it doesn't seem like much to brag about...:huh:

    1 lb = 3500 cals
    2 lbs = 7000 cals
    3 lbs = 10500 cals
    4 lbs = 14000 cals
    5 lbs = 17500 cals

    Even if most people ate NOTHING for 7 days, they would have a hard time losing 5 lbs in one week because your body JUST DOESN'T burn that much. As you can see, it is really impossible to lose large amounts of true weight in a short amount of time.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of it is all water weight, kiddos.

    1.3 lbs. It's a marathon, uphill the entire way nonetheless. But, I'll take it. It's better than a negative loss.

    My first or second week I lost 9lbs but I was pretty obese so that's not that uncommon the first couple weeks if you really stick to the goal of 2lbs a week loss. In the end it has still evened out to about 1.5lbs a week.

    I also did start drinking just water. So of course there was water weight, but it doesn't matter in the end. It is motivating early on though to see a "big" loss and keep plugging along.

    11 I think was my most... It was the second week of this new lifestyle after a week of detoxiing

    About 8 pounds. Oh how I wish I could make that happen at least one more time, then I'd be at my goal weight. But nope, it'll probably take another month or two for that to happen :l

    7 1/2 think. I had taken several rest days beforehand since I was trying to get some sedentary work done so all the water weight got peed out before my weigh day. I've only managed that number twice thus far because I tend to not rest as much as I should or I ate something way salty.
