Am I losing weight too quickly?

I've lost 24 lbs since Valentine's day, which is when I began to try to lose weight. This is about 0.40lbs a day, or a bit less than 3lbs a week. I'm a 6'1" tall male, fairly active, and my starting weight was 300lbs.

I'm concerned that I might be dropping weight too fast; I don't want to hurt myself and I don't want folds of loose skin. That would look almost as bad as being fat. My mom is a bit worried about me, but she can be somewhat irrational about food. I'm not literally starving myself: I eat three solid meals each day, and while I don't respond to every hunger pang, if I get hungry enough I eat - even if I've already had what I think is a healthy amount of calories. I ate a McDouble yesterday because I was hungry and tuna+spinach just wasn't going to do it.

Since I only guesstimate calories, I often worry about exceeding my daily limit, so I think I'm maybe erring on the side of eating too little, which could be bad for me. What do you think? Is my mom right? Do you have concerned relatives making worried hen noises at you?
