Too much weight loss? First week of low carbing

Just started weightwatchers as lockdown with two young children has driven me to non stop snacking and comfort eating to the point I was feeling so bloated and a bit grim..

I am not hugely overweight starting weight last week was 11.6 (5ft 7) and am today 10 st 11... I have never low carbed before (love my carbs!!) and have never ever lost this much weight in a week.. what’s going on? Is it just water loss?? Am a bit freaked out.. will it actually stay off too?

It will mostly be water and will stablise next week, possible go up a couple of pounds so don't be disheartened if that happens.

I'd ditch the scales and get a tape measure.

Thanks.. and good to know I could go up next week. Off to google why carbs make you hold onto water!!
