Too much too soon??

Hi. I started this plan almost 2 weeks ago and lost 5 lbs last week and so far, 6 lbs this week so 11 lbs!!!! Am not sure why its coming off so easily. Is this normal? Starting weight 13 stone 6, goal 10 stone 6. I usually struggle to lose a pound a week.

That is a great start, but as long as you are eating enough of course ( never less than your BMR ) . Some people do lose a lot of water weight at first, your loss should slow down to a steady couple of pounds in the coming weeks.

You've already been given some great advice hilljan, I would just ask that you check you're eating the correct amount of calories, for you personally. If you eat too few, you'll end up stalling your weight loss, very quickly. Check using the NHS BMI calculator
