Thanks for the thorough response! I have been trying to look at it that way. I guess I'm mostly worried because I have already lost 80 lbs, and it's never been this 'easy' to lose. I know that weight tends to fall off in larger amounts the more you weigh, but even at my heaviest, I rarely ever lost more than 2 lbs a week.

Before this week, I was averaging about what MFP recommended--1480 calories a day. I am currently at 200lbs and still intend to lose 70-75lbs. I do log my exercise and eat most of the calories back. I usually leave a buffer of about 50 calories in case of errors with weighing and measuring, but there are days when I eat…
