    You know the answer to this 3# a week is a massive deficit which and one week of less loss is no reason to review your numbers.

    You carry on and you look at the trends and the big picture over months and years to make decisions.

    Your doing great, keep going and don't expect your loss to be linear.

    Considering that you probably shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds per week it seems your progress is very good. Just stick with it. It takes patience more so now than when you were losing more. Don't cut your calories to less than 1200. You would not be providing the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.

    Thanks folks, I've just seen this get worse to no weight loss quickly n the past n it took over a month to begin losing again n this happened three times when losing 80# sucessfully n then just as I was getting underweight at 108# Bam! I got on a med that put the 80# right back on so doing it again while still on that med is harder this time.
