Unhealthy weight loss?
19/F
I've been working at my new job for about 2 weeks now. It involves a lot of running around, and I'm working in the wilderness, so I get a lot of exercise in my spare time, hiking and canoeing. I'm also eating much higher quality food than I did at home, seeing as I was living on a student budget.
With all of this in mind, is it unhealthy for me to have lost 12 pounds in the last 2 weeks? I've heard that you're only supposed to lose one to two pounds a week, not a day!
If it helps, I started off weighing 224 pounds, and now I'm 212. A lot of it's muscle, though, so it's not like I was obese to start with.

hey,
Considering your circumstances, to me, it sounds fine especially as you are doing a lot more excercise and eating healthier. It's not insane to lose 12 pounds in one week, but it is insane to lose 12 pounds every week.
Just watch your weight and if it seems like your becoming underweight, then get eat somthing fatty that will help you stay the normal weight so you can carry on being filled with energy so you can do the stuff you like! Sounds like you're having fun.
