Hi gingerbear!
I can't speak personally about CAD, but I can tell you that the most you should expect to lose in the run of a week is 2 lbs of fat. (which is actually quite a bit--volume-wise) You may lose more than that in the form of water but it will not be a continuous rate of loss. It may come in fits and spurts.
I always found that I lost in cycles. It may be related to TOM somehow because water retention is greater at certain times. It usually happened every 4-6 weeks I would drop a couple more pounds and then hover in between. Now that I am closer to goal it has slowed down a lot...not to mention I allow myself more indulgences than before.
Everyone's metabolism is different due to their age, sex, dieting history, current weight, and their lifestyle, so don't get discouraged if you don't lose at the same rate as someone else.
Take care,
KC
