Dropping Like a Stone?

So I fasted completely yesterday, except coffeee (w/ a little milk), water of course, and a glass of wine. I awoke weighing 221 and went to bed weighing 217. Awoke today at 215.5.

I'm a bit surprised at the rate of loss (being so fast). I'm assuming this is still salt/water driven, as the math (as I understand it) indicates I should only lose fat at something like 5 lbs per week without exercise.

Of course empirically I'm seen a hundred times how the first day or week of any kind of disciplined regime results in disproportionate initial weight-loss. I'm just surprised, and gratified, that I've been able to achieve that kind of downward bump starting from what was already a recent low.

If I can do the same today I'll obviously be no worse than 215, hopefully as low as 213 tonight for official weigh-in.
