 Ok so i needed to post this as i'm not really sure this is right.....i started my opti-fast yesterday and it wasn't so bad i did have a few episodes of head hunger but nothing physical but that best part is that i stepped on my scale this morning and it said i lost 5 whole pounds i didn't believe it to be honest so i moved the scale to different locations and it still said the same thing....5 pounds lost.....is this normal? could it just be water weight? whatever it is i'll take it i don't think i've ever lost 5 pounds in a day before.


thanks to everyone and all the best

My weight can fluctuate as much as 7-8 pounds in a day. I usually consider it a loss when the scale stays lower for at least 5 days.

The first week of opti, the scales move fairly fast.  Yes some of it is water weight, but it is weight none the less!  Enjoy the beginning of this crazy ride and hold on with two hands!!  Your new life awaits!!

It is probably water but congrats anyway. Just do not get discouraged when it slows down. Good luck

Congrats Stephanie.

When I did Optifast I lost 4.4 lbs the first day.  Overall for three weeks I lost 21.6 lbs.  The most was lost the first week as I had uncontrolled diaherria.  That changed after the first week and some medication was stopped.


Enjoy the trip down the scale numbers.
