You only have a few pounds left to lose. It took my friend 6 months to lose the last 10 pounds. The last few can be the hardest and take the longest. Are you exercising? Exercise can be your best friend when getting those last pounds off, firming up and keeping the weight off. Are you drinking water? (Flushes out sodium). Are you eating too many processed foods? (tons of sodium). Are you getting enough lean protein, lean dairy, fruits and veggies? Sometimes it's about "what" you eat and not just "how much". Eating too little won't necessarily help you get to goal. When you have a few days of eating more it will come back on quickly. You might try caloric cycling (zig zag calories daily). Good luck! 

Thanks for the advice.Yes I exercise everyday,walk a lot,stretch bands,aerobics,and lift weights every other day.I don't drink enough water,maybe 40 to 50 ozs a day.I'm doing low carb diet & eat exactly what Atkins recommends daily,except I don't eat as much as they call for.Get full & feel like I've had enough.I have Type II diabetes & Dr. has cut my meds in half.My blood glucose has been normal last 3 months.I feel I don't eat as much fruits as I should.I did lose two pounds this morning,so maybe my body is getting back on track.One thing is I will not give up.Again thanks.
