I'm 37 years old, 5.4ft I started mfp on wed, weighed in at 154.6lbs, today Sunday I now weigh 152.0lbs, is it normal to lose this much in 3days? Or am I doing something wrong? I am following the amount of caleries I'm allowed to have and am always well under, so I lowered it to 1980 calories from 2000 is this wrong?

    Ive lost 3 pounds over night and then gained it back in a few days. Small differences in weight are strange. Its the overall weight lost over a week or more that will telll you if you're actually losing weight. :)

    I think that's fine. The first few days I started on MFP I lost 4lbs, but I think that was due to my body being shocked I wasn't eating rubbish food anymore! Well done on your weight loss btw!

    Pretty normal.
    I'd only start to worry if this happens consistently but if you're on 2000cals, I'm sure it will slow down to a more sensible/sustainable rate.

    Well done so far!

    Ok I'll check in again after a whole week of dieting, thanks for the replies every one. And the friend requests. But as I'm new to this I'm not sure how to except the requests yet! Lol
