When I do calorie restriction, it comes down fast at first and then the rate slows down. I have to keep the water intake and metabolism up (with exercise) to keep losing. I also have to keep my sugar up and take vitamins (keep a real Dr. Pepper in teh car just in case I get a little lightheaded).

3500 calories = 1 real pound. That means with a 500 cal/day deficit, you can loose one pound per week. That why I know that most of the 3 lbs I lost since yesterday were either water weight or food weight.

BTW - I call this "The 3rd Grade Math Diet"!
