Discouragement on the weight front

I'm getting really discouraged with my weight loss efforts.
There's been no movement in over a month -- other than up and back down, but no net loss.
I'm only just over half way to my original goal so I can't possibly have reached that dreaded plateau yet.
Although everyone tells me I look fabulous, this weight cannot possibly be my body's "comfort" zone.  I'm still, at the very least, ten pounds heavier than I should be (and about 18-28 pounds heavier than the "charts" indicate are my ideal weight).
Admittedly, if I were to get down to what the charts show I should weigh, I'd look a lot like Twiggy. Looking like Twiggy is certainly not my goal.
I simply want to get down to a healthy weight for me.
And I know that I'm almost there.  It's just taking forever to get there!
John keeps saying that "almost" counts.
Yeh, in horseshoes maybe.

Don't get discouraged. I have been on my own weight loss journey and understand the ups and downs of trying to lose weight. Hang in there, it will happen for you!

Thanks Bonnie
I know it will happen -- eventually. I'm just a bit disheartened right now because I so wanted to be further along by my birthday.
I'm not used to not meeting my goals, if you get my drift.
