How many calories are you eating per day?

My suggestion would be to get back to basics. Focus on low calories, high Protein. Log every bite! You are so close to your goal! You can do this!!

it definitely gets much harder - and slower - the closer you get to goal. I made it - but those last 20 lbs were a BEAR to get off! I probably lost like 2 lbs a month - and hit many stalls. Every time it happened, I'd think "well, this must be it", and then two or three weeks later, I'd drop another pound.

the best advice i can give is just keep sticking to your program, and know that it'll take quite awhile to get those last few pounds off. If your body truly has stopped, you can always lower your calories a bit - or increase your exercise.

We had surgery on the same day! I'm down to my last 15 or so pounds as well.

First - congratulations on losing 100 lbs this year! Hopefully you are feeling all the great things I am that come from that.

The last couple of months my loss has slowed way down. I'm still losing some but I had to really up my exercise. I am also varying my calorie intake to try to keep my metabolism confused. I have some days around 1,000 calories, and others around 1,700 and that seems to work for me. Regardless of the day I really focus on Protein and fluids and make sure I hit those goals.
