    If you've lost 53lbs your probably doing it right

    Well, if you stop losing weight for a long period of time, you're not in a "plateu", you're just maintaining. Maybe try increasing activity level or decreasing calories slightly (like, 200 a day)? Unfortunately you require less and less calories as you get smaller, and your body also adjusts to the caloric restriction over time. Between the two it requires revamping your diet and exercise plan from time to time. Even taking a break and eating at maintenance for a week or two can help.
