Q: Mini Pill and weight loss

I started taking the mini pill. (Birth control pill with no estrogen) about a week ago. I weighed myself today and I'm starting to lose weight. I was 5'0'' and 128lbs. Today I was 125lbs. That's 3 pounds lost within in a week. When I was on the combined birth control pill, I gained weight. Is this normal? am I losing weight too fast?
