    Have you changed your dietry requirements as you've lost weight? Less cals for less lbs?

    I can not see your diary, but it could be what you are eating or NOT eating! Make sure you are eating enough calories and make sure those calories are good fuel for your body. Drink more water. Exercise more - change up your routine. Your body will change when you change (eating/exercise) routines!
