Unfortunately, it does come off slower. You might make sure your protein is at the high end of that range and up your fluids to at least 90 oz. But whatever you do, the last pounds are slow to come off.
Don't get discouraged. They will come off.

I have two tips of advise...
1. Increase your protein by 10 grams
2. take a week off from working out
I did both and lost 4.5 pounds in one week (after I hit my doctor's goal). I only have less than a pound to my goal and my weight loss just took off again after doing that.
