I know this is "normal", but nonetheless its very discouraging!
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can get past this?
Thanks for you help!

first, congratulations on losing 25 lbs. That's great progress.
Ask yourself some questions about what you've been doing over the last 3 weeks vs. the first 5 weeks... Have you changed anything in your low-carb diet over the last three weeks? Added low-carb candy bars? Starting drinking diet soda? How many carbs are you averaging now? Have you stopped exercising? Did your calories go too low at some point, causing your metabolism to slow?
There are lots of possible explanations for stalling, so keep searching and I'm sure you'll figure out how to get back on track.
