Having trouble losing weight?
So, about 5 months ago, I weighed 282 pounds. Now, I am down to 206 pounds. I'm generally eating about 1600-1700 calories a day, running 3 miles a day, elipticalling 30 minutes a day, and lifting every other day. My math puts me at losing 4 pounds a week, and I my weight loss has kind of slowed down a lot. I'm losing about half as fast as I think I should be. Is my math off? Am I doing something wrong? I'm hoping to be down to 200 by the end of the month.

First of all, Holy **** I admire your commitment/work ethic/whatever you wanna call it, because 76 pounds in 5 months is a lot to lose.
Second, everyone's different. Your math could be spot-on and your body just adheres to a different schedule/metabolism/etc. The amount you're losing seems to be pretty much correlative to your routine, with some margin for error attributed to being chronically human and thus not entirely uniform.

Well, that's kind of how weight loss works. It's A LOT harder to lose weight if you are like 100 pounds, than someone who is 300 pounds. You have lost a significant amount of weight, and it will get harder and harder to lose even more. You might wanna add the amount of exercise in order to speed it up a little, but it still won't go off as fast as it did in the beginning.
