I haven't really changed anything about my eating but in the last few weeks I've been losing REALLY fast. I normally lose about 1-1.5lbs/week but lately I've been losing 3. I do strength (NROLFW) 3x/week and pretty much no cardio aside from getting my FitBit steps in. The odd run, maybe once/week. My fitbit tells me my average TDEE is about 2300 so I eat 1800 but 3lbs is crazy for the last 2 weeks (so 6 total)... I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering what others would do? My first thought is to not make calorie changes based on only 2 weeks of losing more than normal but it's always temtping to see how much you can get away with hehehe Should I give it another couple weeks and see if this craziness continute? Thoughts?

    I'd wait a few more weeks before making any changes, as the large loses these past two weeks may just be a "whoosh" and not indicative of what your average loss/weight change will be on your current intake.

    This is what my common sense was telling me *sigh* lol
