Don't be so hard on yourself. You look beautiful!! You have very little to lose and that makes it a lot harder and it can take longer to get to goal. Take a look at "what" your eating. Are you eating a lot of processed foods? Are you drinking 6-8 cups of water/liquids a day (to flush out sodium)? Are you tracking honestly? You might try eating 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout the day with some protein at each meal instead of 3 bigger ones. Get plenty of lean protein and high fiber foods (add fiber slowly) to help you lose fat. Losing fat is important because you can be at goal weight and still carry too much fat. You are doing great. Patience and persistence will get you to goal. Keep changing things up and look up ways to reduce body fat through magazines, online articles, books, etc.  

Thanks for the encouragement. I am probably tracking more food than I am actually eating, but I am working on eating more protein and fiber...just discouraging sometimes.
