Hi, I am about a month into cutting some weight and immediately I noticed I lost way more weight than expected. I dropped about 5 pounds in the first week which I believe most of that to be water weight. The second week I dropped about 2.5 pounds which I think more accurately reflects how much fat I lost. I have been sticking to my calories, training, and cardio. This week I can feel that my body was working it to the point where I knew I needed a rest day because my muscles felt so tired and my energy was low too. I did 6 days of strength training and hiking. So naturally I expected my weekly weigh in to be awesome since I put so much work in. Today I stepped on the scale and only lost about one pound. I gotta admit I'm letting it get to my head. I honestly dont think there is anyway I only lost one pound because I tracked every calorie and worked my body to the bone. I burn about 3500 a day when I exercise and eat 2200 a day. I also weighed myself at the same time in the morning as usual after I use the restroom. Did my weight loss progress slow down and I need to shrink calorie consumption or is there a bunch of water weight in me in glycogen?? This was actually the first week I thought to myself mid-diet "am I going too extreme" because I felt so tired and I dont want this to be unsustainable. So to not get the results I expected on a week like this has my mentality confused
