lucky.sorta.maybe-but you might have a problem, start eating more (3 meals a day and frutis and veggies. You should only lose 1-3 pounds a week.

No. It's not at all normal or, for that matter, safe to lose a pound a day. It might be conceivable that during the first week of dieting, you would lose a lot of water weight, maybe a pound a day but, after that, you should aim for 1-2 pounds a week. There are two reasons to keep your loss to the range of 1-2 pounds weekly. The first is that it's safe and not putting undue stress on your body and, secondly, because you're WAY more likely to keep off what is lost slowly. As you know, you didn't gain the excess weight a pound a day... don't lose it a pound a day.
You need to increase the number of healthy calories you ingest and, if you're exercising excessively, back off on your workouts. Slow and steady wins this race.

Might be but it depends on what weight you started from and what you are doing to lose the weight. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned. He/She will know what to tell you.

girl, i can lose weght just as quick,wouldnt worry if you can afford to.stress can affect my weight as well as a high metabolic rate, just dont get underweight,initially when you lose weight it starts off fast then gradually slows down,then when it seems you are not losing anymore it comes back on,keep up the good work

A drastic weight loss in a short period could mean diabetes.....
You might want to look into that possibility.... with a physician.
