Generally speaking, exercise does not really generate much in weight loss. To get weight loss, you really have do a lot of it eg running (really running ) over an hour per day. Remember, you have a basal metabolism that is burning around 100 cal/hr or 2000-2400 cal/day.
Weight is weight. The scales cannot determine composition.
Many people like to use measurements to augment or supplement the scales. If your body is rearranging itself, you may not see your weight change.
To you basic question, after the initial weight loss, almost everyone slows in weight loss. A healthy loss is 1-2% of your body weight per week. Some people are slower, some faster. Personally, I have been running 0.5-1% or 1-2 lbs/wk.
Some people stall eg stop losing weight. Some actually gain weight ( I have once or twice, even being on plan ).
Best advice is keep at it. Do things to encourage yourself eg journalling, taking measurements, ignoring the scales but once a month. Follow the plan as best you can. You are going to be doing this for a long time -- the rest of your life. So a few more weeks or months is really not that much.
Good luck.
Mike.
