Normal for first few days yes, you have "shocked" your body and it has lost fat, muscle and water. It may continue to do so for a few more days but not very long. Its around 2lbs per week the max your body can lose from fat, it simply cannot metabolise any more then this and so you will lose muscle and water and even bone density as an addition so go easy on trying to lose too much weight too fast, you'll only lose more muscle and losing too much weight too fast will result in upside down hormones, your body prefering to store calories as fat as it doesn't like the speed of the energy its losing and you will find your man-boobs will be around alot longer.

Google cortisol.
