After all that weight loss, have you adjusted your expectations regarding how many pounds you will lose per week? Now you should aim for about a pound or a half pound a week, which may mean you'll be eating more than when your goal was to lose 2 pounds a week. Re-set your goals on MFP.
Check out this helpful thread that outlines the phases of weight loss. Don't give up while you're in the home stretch!!

Also, add variety to your workouts and if you aren't doing it already, do strength training a few times a week (with resistance bands or free weights). More muscle speeds up your metabolism and prevents plateaus.
Good luck!!!0 -

What she said!
When you're so close to goal, weight loss is much more difficult. Perhaps you need to modify your weekly goal so you actually get to eat more. It looks to me like you're just a few pounds away. Keep up the hard work and switch things up a little. May help you knock off those last few pesky pounds!0 -

Yeah, I didn't know either until I gave it a shot, and from experience it really does work. Your body is constantly trying to adapt, so it just doesn't want to lose that much weight that quickly anymore. You have to fool it0
