Is it normal to lose. 8 lbs in a week without trying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If you're not having any other symptoms - (diarrhea, vomiting, etc) - i wouldn't say it's cause for alarm. Scales aren't perfect and are often inaccurate and inconsistent. I'd be more concerned about a few weeks of unintentional weight loss. If it's persisting, make sure you check up in with your doctor!
