Congratulations! Good for you. Feels great to exercise, release toxins, drop excess weight. Just don't get so tiny that we can't find you.

Have a great weekend... VV

i don't mean to burst your bubble, but 5 lbs in 2 days means you lost a lot of water, glycogen and muscle; not just fat. a few weeks ago i supposedly lost 6 pounds in one day. i was up 5 lbs the next and it's taken me two weeks to get back to where i had weighed

There's no such thing as a bad weightloss. But don't count on keeping this one. A large part of it is most likely water. Remember the sauna thread?

Here's the physics of weight loss. 1 lb of fat is roughly equivalent to 35K calories. To lose 1 lb of fat, you have to cut that number of calories from your diet or expend that much more energy through exercise/activity. 5lbs weight loss or gain in a 2 day period is usually not for real.

Just don't want you to get discouraged! Try not to weigh more than once a week too. Good luck!

After I lost a few pounds on Nutri System, my wife told me I wasn't as disgusting to her as I used to be.
