Hit a Plateau :( Help!!!

Hello! I am a 5' 2" 18-year-old female and while I've never been really overweight, I have always battled with my weight. Last June, I began working with a personal trainer and my starting weight was 142 lbs. I stayed with my trainer up until this past March (Due to her personal life, she could no longer work with me and had to stop abruptly). I had always let her weigh me and tell me how much weight I was losing, but I don't think she was always honest with me about the numbers. When I stepped on the scale after she stopped working with me, I found out I weighed 137 lbs, which was no where close to where I thought I was and wanted to be. She had always kept me at about a 1400 calorie diet, but to me, it felt like SO much food and I honestly felt uncomfortably full all the time. She refused to let me go lower even though both my mom and I thought it would be a good idea. Slow metabolisms run in my family and I definitely inherited one. My mom and sister battle with weight and they have to drop their calories low to see any kind of results. When I stopped seeing my trainer, I dropped my calories and continued working out and got down to 125.5 lbs. I then purchased Insanity and completed the 60 Day Challenge 2 weeks ago. I consistently lost weight up until the second week of Month 2 when I plateaued. I hit my goal weight of 120 lbs, but I'd ultimately love to be around 117 lbs (I'd still like to lose some weight around my thighs). I've been following the same exact meal plan (a modified one that my trainer had given me), but am frustrated that I stopped getting the results I am working so hard to get. I eat the same thing everyday (I've always done that...easy, convenient, and when I find foods I love, I'll eat them forever ). I took a recovery week from Insanity and then started the program back up again this past week. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice?? Here's what I eat everyday:

1/2 Cup of Oatmeal cooked in 3/4 Cup of Silk Almond Milk
3/4 Cup of Blueberries
2 Hardboiled Egg Whites

(Post-Workout Snack) 1 Saltfree Rice Cake with 1/2 Tbsp of Smucker's Strawberry fruit spread

About 3 cups of Spinach
1.5 oz Gourmet Lite Turkey Breast
1 Tbsp Sunflower Seeds
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 Egg Whites
1 Clementine

1/2 Cup of Kashi Go Lean Honey Almond Flax or 1 Special K Bar-Chocolatey Pretzel

About 1.5 Cups of Steamed Broccoli
4.5 oz Grilled Chicken Breast

Caramel Rice cake with cream cheese or Jello Sugarfree Pudding Cup

Maybe spice up what you eat. Change it up a bit. Try different good foods, like grapefruit; avacado's, and almonds.
And by the way, that is awesome! Congratulations!
