Weight loss slowing down / no B.M's

My weight loss has been real good up until this point. I was averaging 8-12 pounds a month and now I have slowed down a lot. I am 16 pounds away from my goal and it breaks my heart its comming off slow now. I have noticed that I don't have a b.m. but once a week or so and I the Fiber and miralax is not helping. Could this be slowing my weight loss down too?

Please help I feel like I am letting myself down because my goal is so close but it's not getting here...

Ask you doctor first but when I was in the Hospital the nurse gave me warm prune juice about 2oz. I had a great BM after.
