GREAT work!!!

Your caloric deficit should be a small one...say 500 calories (200 from diet adn 300 from cardio)...yours is huge..and the body will respond by burning muscle! Especailly on such a low carb intake.

Also, low carbs and high protein = water loss...watch out.

You might want to take a week off and come back with a whole new plan. As long as you are in a caloric deficit of 500 cals...you will lose a pound a week of fat. Check this info out:

For Losing Fat

Learn to measure body composition and you can gain in muscle as you drop the fat...instead of dropping water, muscle, and fat!

Good going with that 31 pounds dropped.

Now keep it healthy and go for another 12-24 pounds of fat in the next 3 months!!
