Hi Kanehi, you're doing really well.
Just to echo what you've already been told, our weight loss isn't a steady slope down. My own has been a series of zigzags and steps, but the overall pattern is down. Our bodies seem to need patches of 'sorting themselves out' before they're prepared to let go of any more.
One thing I was told, when I was stressing about just this, was about fat cells.
Seems fat cells are stubborn little beggars and when they lose fat, they hang onto water. They don't want to shrink, in case the fat comes back and they need to store it again. Takes them a while before they finally give up and then they let go of the water - you lose weight and shrink a bit. Then you lose some more fat and the next set of fat cells does the same.
Keep doing the right things, keep emptying those fat cells and just tell them the fat isn't coming back, so they may as well let go of that water too, LOL. They'll get the message
Take care, Jay
