Your deficit is beyond what your body naturally burns. Yes 3500 calories is a pound so if you have a deficit equal to or greater than that, you should lose that pound. Factor in what kind of food you've been eating though as to how your body processes it.
As a note, try to make your posts a bit more clear and correct if you can. It's difficult to answer and give you what you want if we can't understand what your saying0 -
It means you underate by that much--so you SHOULD lose however much you're set to lose plus additional 1+ pounds BUT undereating can cause a stall. Not good. You need to get to your daily target--you shouldnt be "under" your goal at all.0

It depends on when you looked at it - it means that at that point, you are 4642 under the weekly goal which shoudl be met by the end of Sunday.
If you looked on Monday it would be a HUGE number0 -
