but apparently it's not enough! I'm five weeks out, and 26 pounds down. And now I think I'm in another stall (yet again)... Geesh! All I know is that the scales aren't going up, they're going backwards, so I'm thankful for that. Anyone else having the same issues?

Please don't be hard on yourself! You have an average loss of over 5 lbs. a week-that's a terrific average! I'm hoping to lose 4 lbs. a week on average, so that's 16 a month. If I lose more one month-terrific, but I know another month I may not meet my monthly goal....so... I've computed my month to month goals and if I could lose 16 a month I'll be almost at goal in a year. Remember, slow and steady wins the race (and has nicer looking skin and hair!) 

I have a stall about every 2.5-3 weeks, Frustrating !!! Try upping your calories for a day and see if it kicks it out.
