Yes. The lower your BMI gets and the closer you get to goal the more your body will try to hold on to the fat. Just keep doing what you are doing. Maybe look for NSV's instead.

You're down almost 40 pounds in less than two months! Be happy about that. What are you counting as a stall? You're doing great.

i count the scale not moving in a week a stall

Wait what? That's not really a stall. Stalls last for prolonged periods of time. A week is not that bad. Perhaps it would be best to step away from the scale a bit.

I'm a week behind you and have only lost 19 pounds. I'm losing slow but I'm losing every week. Don't be discouraged. You've lost twice as much as me. Your body just needs time to catch up. Technically, you are at an average weight loss of 4 pounds a week which is fantastic!!!

I would be ecstatic for that loss. I am doing all the right things too but not losing that quickly. I guess it differs from person to person.

Increase you calories and exercise. It will raise your metabolism and spur further weight loss. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but it works

Try to look at this way. What diet were you ever on that you lost 38 pounds in less that 2 months? Chances are high that it was none! I will not be that high in 2 months so I think that is great! Remember your body can change also without the scale moving. I have been stuck for a week but I can tell in my waist and back I have lost some inches. The scale just provides us validation and instant gratification, it also used to cause to fail when we weren't losing. For me, I would say why am I even trying to eat right if I am not losing weight and then I would binge! Lifelong changes!!
