I think that you should just focus less on the scale, and go by how you feel about your body. I feel like when we get to the lower numbers for our height, when the losses get slower and slower each week, it's just too easy to obsess about the scale. I got to my goal weight of 145 and decided to maintain that for a couple of months. I then realized that I was just not comfortable with my body there and have since decided on a lower weight. So it's back to the slowww weight loss. Because of this, I've decided to weigh only once a month.
During the first part of the journey I weighed daily. I had gone too long without weighing myself, and knew that I had to have the accountability. Lately, however, it had really become an issue. My mood for the whole day depended on what the scale said. Even if I was retaining water from salt, I just felt like a failure. So, obviously the daily weighing had stopped working for me, and I had to find something else that worked.
If you are happy with your body here, then you should just forget about the number on the scale. However, if you do feel up to losing more, perhaps you can just focus on the same plan you've been following, and weigh a little more infrequently?
Good luck!
