If you look at my sig, you'll see I am only losing between 2 and 4 lbs a month too. I just think that if I lose 3 lbs a month, at least it's 3 lb I won't see again.
And, don't forget 3 lb means much more at this stage as it's a far greater percentage of your entire body weight than a bigger person.
I can see the difference every single pound makes at this stage now, whereas when I was 200+, I could only really see a difference when I lost 7 lb.
I want to be at 135 by my birthday, but if it takes till Christmas then so be it. So long as it comes off and doesn't go back on again, that is what matters.
I'm also going to get some body fat scales too so I can watch my body fat % go down. Once I hit my goal I think I will still need something to keep track of, so I have started tracking my exercise. I'm not doing a huge amount at the moment, but I'm aiming for 210 minutes a week to start, which averages at 30mins per day. I'm going to see how that fits in with my other commitments, and then see if I can't start to increase the amount of exercise I do.
Entering figures on spreadsheets and seeing visible improvements is what motivates me.
