Rate of weight loss?
I expected to lose a "chunk" in the first week or two since I re-started eating healthy and then stabilize at an average of 1-2 pounds per week. So, I've lost 9 pounds in the last two weeks. Some of that was PMS bloat. I haven't added extra physical activity yet, but will soon. My calorie intake (according to FitDay) has ranged from a low of 1108 to a high of 2286 with an average of 1616. Should I expect to slow down now?

Ride it as long as you can, but you should expect slow down at some point. That point is different for everybody. Personally, I got a big chunk the first week, then a standstill the next 3 weeks, then all of a sudden I started losing again big time. So the moral is everybody is different. On average you should expect 1-2 a week. It's fun to lose though. It's pure motivation.

The first 2 week drop is mostly water and some fat- if you are like most people, you probably lost about 3-4 pounds of fat and the rest water. It really should slow down to 1-2 pounds a week for a healthy, sustainable loss. Mel |
Once again Mel is right on :) You *want* it to slow down, just make sure that doesn't discourage you. Start focusing on other goals (weight lifting, protein intake, exercise goals).
