Why did I lose weight fast?
Why did I lose weight fast? I only been dieting for 10 days and people have been telling me I looked like I was losing weight, so when I weighed myself I found out I lost 15 pounds. Someone told me that a person could only lose 1 pound a week while dieting. Why did I lose 15? I didnt starve myself and I did work out.Will losing weight fast negatively affect me later?I'm not overweight either, I just wanted to get rid of my stomache, so I walked and did sit ups

Losing water weight is NOT DANGEROUS.
I lost 7 lbs in 2 days once. Not a word of a lie. What had I changed? I stopped drinking diet soda and started drinking tons of water. Turns out, I had been dehydrated beforehand, and my body was retaining water as a result. When I started drinking more water, I lost all that water weight in no time flat. Same thing happens to me when I cut out super-processed food, or start eating more fibre, or cut out salty food.
What you should make sure of is that you're getting in at least 1500 calories a day, mostly from lean protein, veggies and whole grains. Drink tons of water, and any weight loss you experience will be healthy.
Quick weight loss only affects you if it's unhealthy. If it is, then you will gain it back and then some.

It is likely water weight, which may be pretty harmful actually.
Make sure you are drinking enough pure, clean water every single day. No sugars. No colors. No flavors. Just water. Exercising makes you sweat more and release more water. Water helps you metabolize your food.
10 days isn't long enough to already be building muscle to break down fat.
It's likely to be water weight that you are shedding so quickly. You may actually be dehydrated even. 15lbs is an insane (and fairly unnatural) amount for that amount of time. Make sure you're doing things properly to be healthy. Health is more important than losing 15lbs.
If you up your drinking of water you may actually notice your weight fluctuate back up. If it does, chances are you were pretty dehydrated.
If you're urine is a little darker than usual then you could be dehydrated as well.
Remember that didn't "starve" yourself doesn't mean you still got enough calories and nutritional value in your food. Watch what you eat. Count your calories. Take a multivitamin to make sure you're getting enough vitamins. Take care of yourself.

As long as you aren't starving yourself or using other unhealthy methods (pills, laxatives, throwing up, etc), don't worry about it. When you're just starting out exercising and eating right you will lose weight fast the first week or two. It's just water weight, not fat!
Now if you continue to lose tons of weight every week for long periods of time then you may need to see a doctor, but unless that happens I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep doing it the right way, like you are, and you will be just fine.
