Dangerous Weight Loss ?

Hey guys!

I just started my very first diet as an adult and was wondering if I was overdoing it.

I decided to do IF, using the app "Zero", and count calories, using "MyFitnessPal" (the app recommended I stay below 1250 calories/day, as I lead a sedentary lifestyle and very rarely exercise).

​

Here are my stats for you to judge.

24F / 164 cm (a smidgen below 5'5) / SW: 70.1 kg (154.5 lbs)

On Monday, I weighed in at 70.1, and following the recommended diet on MFP, I would have weighed in at 66.8 kg (147.3 lbs) in 5 weeks or so (according to MFP).

However, I did my second weight-in this morning and weighed... 67 kg (147.7 lbs).

​

As I mentioned in the beginning, this is my first diet as an adult and I do not know if a lost of 3.1 kg (6.8 lbs) is a victory or a cause for concern.

Could water retention explain those first week results ?
