Hi and welcome to ft :) the last 5 pounds can be tricky! What is your caloric intake now? what ratio of carbs to protein to fat in your diet? WW tends to be a little carb heavy, imo. I think you would find i youup your lean protein a little, lowered your starchy carbs a little and increased you good fats you might break you plateau. Changing the type and intensity of the exercise you do could also help break your plateau.

I would have to know more about what you have been doing to guide you towards what to do :)
