Assuming we are doing regular exercise with a regular decent diet with the goal to lose weight.

Why is it that at different points we're losing more, less or no weight?

    To name a few things:

    Water weight masking weight loss.
    Reduction in energy output through reduction in body mass.
    Reduction in energy output through adaptive thermogenesis.
    Intake error.
