Is losing 3 pounds in 5 days a good result?

Question

I've gone from 131.5 to 128.5 pounds in 5 days. I would have been very annoyed if I hadn't lost any weight! Or if I gained muscle weight! I've been running every day, 30 sit ups a day, and eating less.

Answer

Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week.

Answer

It could be water weight. People generally don't sit at a certain weight constantly. They vary about 1-3lbs daily due to food/water consumption. But healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs a week. Losing more than that over an extended period of time is dangerous to your health and you're also very likely to put the weight back on really quickly as well.

Answer

It was most likely water weight. You fluctuate 1-5 pounds daily. Only weigh yourself once a week and the same time (ie every sunday at 7am) before you have ate or drank anything to get accurate results. Make sure to also eat 3 healthy meals and 3 small snacks a day. If you go too long without eating your body goes into starvation mode and does not convert calories correctly. Keep in mind healthy comes in many shapes and forms 💖
