I actually had people ask if I was getting sick. I did get 3rd in my contest though. this time around I am approaching things quite differently, I stayed around 10 pounds or so of my comp weight, and so I don't have to diet for 16 weeks for this one!! I think the thing to do is as my wife is doing now, she dieted for so long that she also is getting that way, now it is time for her to gain some weight(muscle). I think you reach a point, then muscle starts coming off instead of fat no matter what you do. Your body reaches the "set point" so to speak. I think then it is time to turn things around. You might get some ketone strips and check your urine for protein loss. You are an inspiration. I know this because my wife dropped 90 lbs. on her diet and exercise. Best of luck.
