Interesting. What about the integrity of the posters? Just curious. 🙂

The robochallenge is reading the posts correctly, if that's what
you're thinking about. I just audited those two entries.

Probably water weight, for example consider Kristen's post just before
dropping 7 lbs in 7 days:

It sounds like her committment has held true, which is what the RC is
all about :-)

I get weighed by an external source, and then reverified at home. I don't
have to justify to anyone except for myself, and why would I lie to myself?
I do an hour of combined aerobics and anerobic weight-lifting 5 days a week
and have really watched the calories. I don't eat anything with sugar
alcohols (due to an upset stomach). Diet and exercise... who knew? 😉

That can EASILY happen if they are in Induction.

My point is simply that an error could be in more than one place. A typo or
whatever. I don't think you need to lie. In fact, I haven't even been to
the site recently.

When I first started LC I lost 7 pounds in four days.

I lost 7 lbs in a week.. but to be fair I did weigh myself on Monday the
28th when I was on day 2 of my TOM. I started induction the next day and
weighed myself again on a hospital scale on Tuesday the 8th.

====================
When I first started strict LC in 2001 I dropped 9 lbs in the first 14 days.
Maybe it's not so unusual.

Yep, I worked out harder than I ever have since restarting. I increased my
aerobic time by 10% ( and planning to increase it again next week). Got rid
of artichokes that I was having daily and switched back to cabbage and raw
spinach. Also, I have been watching the fat intake (not usual for me) but I
really do want to shave calories right now. Oh yea, I actually zipped my
reference jeans today. I couldn't bend my knees, but I zipped em! lol
