Too much early weight loss? Is my scale the culprit? If it's water weight, what's the best way to send it to California?

M 20 5'8 SW: 230 CW: 220? GW: 140

The first thing that I did when I decided to actually lose weight (and not just fantasize) was reading the sub's FAQ. I woke up, got nakey and measured myself at 230 on a hard, flat surface on a hard, flat scale. One week of a 1k-ish deficit (2400 calories a day to 1200-1600 a day shooting for 1500.) I've also started doing half an hour on the treadmill most days (baby steps) and taken a part time job as a dishwasher, which is tougher than it sounds, especially coming from someone who's exercise was previously walking to his car.

I've got aches and pains, but my mind feels sharper and I'm pumped up to keep going. It reminds me of adderall, actually, I feel focused despite my ADD but I'm still capable of the creative thought Adderall takes away. I just don't think I have ten pounds worth of aches and pains or mental acuity.

I assume it's water weight but most people I've spoken to say not to worry if you gain your first week and I'm sitting here thoroughly confused. Same scale, same place, same bat-time.

Maybe I'm just some other sort of human, fated to wither away unless I gorge myself with bag curry and Cheetos.
