I've lost 33lbs in two months is it normal?

[tenchu11]

I started at 324 lbs and now I'm at 291. My plan is 205 or so I'm 5'8" so I should be at 170-180 but I weightlift a lot and I'm hoping with muscle I'll be in the low 200s. I drink protien shakes for breakfast and dinner, lunch I have a bunch of salad lean meats and a small portion of something savory a very small ammount. I drink about a gallon of water a day I'm on my feet working 12-14 hours a day and I'm losing anywhere from 1-2 lbs every day or two. In the last week I've lost 11lbs. I know eventually it would slow down but it's alarming when one day I'm 295 then two day later I'm 291. I'm not complaining but 4lbs in two days seems like a lot. I'm not taking into account the 7lbs I was over and lost in 3 days after drinking a lot of water and flushing out all the water weight.

This isn't so bad because the more a person weighs, the more weight will come off sooner. It's when you get smaller and smaller you will find yourself only losing a pound or two, and then eventually a half-pound or so. It's your body's way of saying, "Whoa, whoa you're wasting away here, gotta preserve some of you before you disappear!"

Many people I knew through Weight Watchers who were much bigger found that they were losing several pounds each week at our weigh-ins than the people who were slightly overweight. Each week they showed up, less weight was lost each time - it's normal.

Well you're very big so I think that's very well possible, you could have lost even more actually and it would have still been normal but as your weight will go down now you will notice your weight loss will slow down

I've noticed my face getting smaller getting a jaw line and looking manlier.

Yeah that's good :) see, losing weight is not hard but keeping it that way after you've reached your goal is the hard part - anyways I wish you good luck!

33lbs in 2 months is damn good, Congrats bro! Only weighing yourself in the morning would be more accurate, a lot of the fluctuation could be just water weight.

Going at it too fast does pose some concerns. A bunch of loose skin is one. I heard hairloss is another, but you should really look this stuff up/ask a doctor.

I should at least I'm not starving myself just being very conscious of what I eat and not starving myself.
