3lbs. a day seems like an awful lot of food to me. My 50lb girl eats about about a pound and a half a day. The rule is 2-3% of their ideal body weight. 2% for less active dogs and 3% for more active dogs.

Hildie, is your dog very active?

Martha, I think you are doing fine with 2 pounds. Keep an eye on your dogs waistline and adjust accordingly.
