    The simple answer yes.

    A calorie deficit is needed to lose weight. Exercising is important, but you can lose weight without it.

    What do you mean hit a stall?

    She means hit a plateau.

    Although I don't know how to help with that, have you changed your stats recently? Now you've lost weight you might need to alter your calorie intake for you new size?

    I honestly don't know but look out for plateau threads, they might offer some more helpful ideas

    We'll need more information to be able to help you:
    - your stats (height, starting weight, current weight, goal weight)
    - the weight loss rate you selected in MFP
    - what's your calorie goal
    - how much are you eating
    - are you eating back your exercise calories
    - when did you start your weight loss
    - how long has your weight loss been stalled

    Things to look out for are:

    guestimating portions - are you still weighing and measuring them?

    workouts that you've done for so long that you are going through the motions and not putting effort in. They need to be pushing you a tiny bit - working different muscle groups each session, varying what you do, mixing cardio and weights with stretching etc.
