Calories burned significantly reduced

So I use fitbit and log about on average 12000 steps a day. This has generally equated to a fitbit adjustment of roughly 900-1100 calories a day. Since last Wednesday, when I posted another weight loss, my fitbit adjustment is down approximately 500 calories a day doing the same number of steps. I'm guessing I reached some "line" where my calorie burn is reduced as a result of weight loss?

    It's likely due to weight loss, and quite possibly your body has gotten more efficient, so you burn less.

    Damn - I walk that much everyday and am lucky to get 350 calories burned from my Fitbit One.
