My reply is that I think you are way too hard on yourself. You need to REALLY think about how much progress you have made, and not just what you have left to go. Have you ever put how much weight you have lost on a bar or in a backpack and lifted it? I find this a good way to think about this. You used to carry this amount…

Why do you want to lose faster? It isn't that this can't be done - but it isn't the healthy or smart thing to do.

I think you are monitoring too closely with a scale. Water weighs a lot, and your body doesn't hold the same amount at any given time. If you are eating different things or eating at different times, this can also make a difference in what the scale says. If you are still doing the right things, just focus on keeping them…
