hi DivaDani, welcome to our forum
Congrats on the 7˝ lbs and the inches lost. It's perfectly normal that the rate of loss is not a straight line downward .
Nat has covered all the points ... I'd just like to reinforce the recommendation to make sure you're eating enough. You did mention that you're eating less food, although your fat intake sounds fine. Do make sure that you're getting plenty of protein as well ... minimum 60g per day for women. One egg is 6g, an ounce of lean meat, fish or poultry is 7g.
When taking your measurements, do measure more than just the "standard three" - chest, waist, hips. Measure your abdomen, ribcage below the bustline, thighs, upper arms etc ... some weeks or months even, you will lose from these other areas of your body, and NOT lose from your waist or hips. You might think you're not losing any inches, when in fact you are.
Once again, welcome ... and keep us posted how you're doing. In fact, why not pop into our Introductions forum and say hello .. the rest of the gang would love to meet you
Doreen
