If you are experiencing constipation flax is recommended or psyllium seed (Metamucil) if additional vegetables don't help. Try raw veggies as opposed to cooked vegetables - cauliflower, broccoli, something other than salad veggies may help.
How much cheese do you eat daily - how many sweetners - caffeine consumption - any soda or crystal light? That may be causing the slowing of your weight loss. It would also be what we refer to as
