Two weeks ago I started checking weight, and it was between 220-225.
Today, I am less then 210, point seems to be on 207. I know about
weight fluctuation, and surly I couldn't have lost 18 pounds in two
weeks? I only walk about two hours per night. Am I reading too much
into it?


Because you started out so heavy, it is conceivable that you lost a
great deal of water, and not nearly so much fat.


It's lot of water if you ask me


First of all, according to what you wrote your loss could be anywhere
between 13 - 18lbs. It's quite possible that much of it is water weight
especially if you're a woman. Fluctuating hormones can cause large weight
swings due to water retention. Also, at the beginning of a weight loss diet
most people lose quite a bit of water weight along with some fat. No one is
saying it's all water.


I know about water retention issue, since I am a man I assumed I
wouldn't have such problem. It's bit strange to me. In the morning I
had 2 cups water - 600ml, now I had 750ml of water, but I weight 205,
in the morning I weighted 207
