It certainly isn't unheard of. Are you excercising aswell? Are you weighing yourself at the same time of day (ie. first thing in the morning). Is your caloric intake correct?
When I first started out, I lost around 4lbs a week for the first couple of weeks but, I was doing crazy amounts of cardio aswell.
I wouldn't worry too much if your diet and training are in check, it will probably level off before long.

Is it normal after the first week of a 500kcal cutting diet for weight training to lose 4lb's? I know usually you only lose 1lb but I have gone from 185lbs to 181lb in the space of a week?
Thanks
No this isn't uncommon especially coming off of a surplus diet or a diet unknown in calories (but over mt more than likely), as the body is accustomed to a higher caloric level, and then the caloric level gets somewhat drastically lowered (with activity), and it tends to (in normal circumstances) to react rather strongly at the beginning. Just be sure to weigh yourself at the same times with the same type clothing.
ROCK ON!.........Great results!
