I have a female leopard gecko who just keeps loosing weight. I have separated her from my others. She seems very slow and lethargic, and doesn't seem to be able to catch a cricket, she just missed and gives up, or continues to miss. Any ideas whats wrong with her. The other female and male a super fat and healthy.

Is she lethargic any? Using the bathroom? Have you tried stunning a cricket?

She might have parasites. They can catch parasites from the live food they eat. This would cause weight loss and lethargy. Take a fresh fecal sample to a reptile vet and they can check for you, they would be able to recommend ways to rid of parasites.
