Well Congrats to you....and in my mind, I would be ecstatic and give two hoots if it was water or actual!! Keep up the good work!

Four pounds is "4" pounds!  Congrats and keep up the good work...

same thing has happened to me ... lets keep up the good work huh?

Hey, I started on this site on Jan 6th and I didn't weigh myself for the first week, and when I stepped on the scale after the first week, I found that I had lost 6 lbs, and I had the same reaction as you. I thought that my scale must be broken, or I had mis-weighed myself so I tried again and again and kept getting the same result. I was absolutely ecstatic, and you should be too! 4 lbs is awesome so keep up the good work!

 

I have to agree that water weight is still weight and any loss is something to be excited about!  You'll know for sure next week or whenever you do your weigh-ins.  I found that you have to keep it consistant...if you do your weigh-in in the morning before you eat, then keep it that way, don't compare it to a weight at the end of a day.  Keep up the good work...it's a slow process, take your victories everywhere you can!  Best wishes!
