Is it true if your obese and you exercise allot and eat healthy you can lose weight quickly the first week?

Weight loss: It is common to lose more weight the first week, compared to subsequent weeks. Most of this is due to the loss of water weight the first week. If you have fluid retention or edema, this can be substantial.
