Default Am I losing too fast? or is there such a thing..
Hey guys...

I am just getting a little concernced....
Started back to CAD on August 14th the scale showed me weighing in ~ 282.5 today August 17th I stepped on and I am 276.5...thats 6 pds in 4 days.... I know I have to average the weights out if I am doing it properly but still when I was on Cad before I didn't lose a pound a day...

I have been following very strict this time...maybe that is the reason for the quickness?? Or perhaps I'll hit the wall tomorrow and not lose anything??

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced such rapid losses....

Talk to you later (I hope)
Carleen

Might also be rapid weight loss coming off a binge. Carbs hold water. So this might be a combo of water and fat. I wouldn't worry about it right now!!

I wouldn't worry about it either! I went from 328 to 318.5 during my first week of CAD (oh, how I would love to have those results back again!)

Fat, water, whatever, enjoy

Carleen:
I agree. Water and fat, probably. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and don't get discouraged when it slows down as it likely will soon.

What a great problem to have!

When I did CAD back in 2000, I lost 45-50 pounds the first month and 50-55 pounds in the 11 months after.

This time, it's not so fast.
