I'm sure others here will have words of wisdom to share, but the best thing I can tell you is to be encouraged by losing the weight slowly because the weight will stay off and that's far better than losing a few pounds just to have them come back plus more. I lost 40 lbs slowly, over the course of a year back in '96 and only in the last couple of years did it come back (because I wasn't making healthy choices).
I lose weight slowly, so I don't have suggestions for losing 7 lbs in three weeks, but that's just a bit over 2 lbs a week, which is very do-able for some people. I'd say drink lots of water, work out extra, and keep eating healthily.
Sorry I don't have any other suggestions than the standard stuff.
Sounds like you're doing great, though! Wish I could say I've lost the weight you have, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just keep at it and you'll see results, just like you already have!
