In 1 week....you probably lost water weight & maybe some fat.
Remember:
3,500 calories = 1lb of fat
So you need to create a deficite (through exercise or diet)

Keep it up though, with a good diet and a consistent exercise program you will lose weight and feel great!!!!!

Yes - usually half is water weight, but that's ok. Your body holds on to fluid when we are eating too much. Getting rid of that fluid is the beginning phase to any weight loss diet.

Keep it up!
