Does starting BMI affect percentage of excess weight lost?

Does starting weight have anything to do with how much weight is generally lost? For example would it be easier for a person with 100 pounds to lose to get down to their ideal weight than a person with 200 pounds to lose or does the body start resisting weight loss once a certain percentage of excess weight has been lost, regardless of how many pounds the person has lost?
