I feel like I am losing weight too quickly

Hello,

I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks...(currently at 203,5 lbs) I am 25 year old and measure 5 feet 4 inches. I used to have a very fast metabolism but that has been reduced due to a medication that I am taking. In the last few weeks, after speaking with my doctor, we reduced a little bit that medication so that might explain the weight loss. But I try to stick around 1663 calories a day (but am probably eating 1400 calories a day approximately). Is this normal in your opinion? My goal is 180 lbs.

Thanks

    It's completely normal, don't worry about it

    The loss will slow down, don't worry. It's common to lose a lot of weight when you begin a new diet. Some of it is water weight. If you continue losing at that rate for more than a month, consider eating more.
