Lost 47 pounds: Yes you should be concerned, it is a significant weight loss, but you did not say how much you weigh now and how much you weighed before, if you are groosly obese and were on a diet and exercise regimen, then about 6 lbs a month is a success, but if you are not then you should consult your doctor.

One possibility: Is that you put on muscle over the 8 months that you were exercising. Muscle burns more calories than fat. Thus, your metabolic rate may have increased.
