normal to lose weight?

I am currently at 7weeks and from my first dr visit (at 4 weeks) till now I have lost 6lbs. I'm going to see the dr next week so I'll definitely ask him but wanted get some insight sooner from you guys. Is this normal? I haven't had morning sickness and I haven't skipped any meals. I'm eating fairly healthy.  Just feeling concerned.
