Dropped a few pounds after less than 3 days. Should I be concerned?

Hi all! I started IF on Friday at 195lbs now today Monday I’m 192lbs. I’m unsure if this is a good thing or cause for concern because I have never changed my diet/eating habit like this before nor do I think you could lose weight so fast? Is this normal? I’m 5’ 6” 21F. Thanks!

This is from men’s health and it’s about water weight. I realize you’re not a man, but there’s plenty of good info here for you.
