You've probably hit a plateu.
Change things up....challange yourself more.
If you do certain excercises now, find new ways to make them harder, if you are running a certain amount of minutes, crank em up. They say that if you feel yourself getting too comfortable with your work outs and your routine, even eating habits...change it up, and it'll startup again. If it's just a lack of motivation for you instead then you shouldn't stop now because you've come WAY to far now to stop, it would be such a shame.
Btw you look great in your pictures, it's like you cut yourself in half.
Keep it up, kick butt!

Without knowing exactly what's happening, it's hard to give any advice. But like Asylum said, HUGE congrats!
Try keeping a food lock and accurately tracking your calories. More often than not a plateau is caused by not adjusting your diet to the requirements of your body as it changes.

Okay, so that's all you eat every day? How much chicken, how much salad/veggies? How many calories?
I hit a pleatau for around 6 months in my weight loss. And since I was weighing daily, I didn't notice it. I went to myfitnesspal.com (a free calorie spreadsheet) and began tracking my eating. The diet is the most important thing. I was surprised at how much junk I was eating, and how many extra calories I was having. It's very difficult to pull off around 1800-1900 calories a day for weight loss when you have a even an extra doughnut in your diet. But, its good to treat yourself in moderation.
After that , the weight started falling but after I corrected my eating and got leaner it was becoming much more difficult again. I didn't hit another pleatau, but, I had to change my excerise. 8 miles to the gym and back wasn't doing it anymore. So, I started HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) 15 minutes a day, running one day, then rest the next, then bike doing it the next day, then rest the next, 3 times a week. From there on it was downhill and then I reached my goal.
For example, with biking, my body was very used to biking, so , it was easy. Doing HIIT running was extremely difficult. That was a different story. Doing HIIT with biking was also very difficult, but I only got my heartrate up to 80-85% biking, and 99% running. Apparently HIIT is good for 2 reasons: It doesn't take much time, and , the caloric "burn" is longer I've heard. Because you gave your body such a beating...
It's not easy, but if you can do it, and you watch your diet, you will most likely go thorugh your plateau. Best of luck to you.
