Be glad that you're not "technically" on a stall, rather than frustrated about it. 
As for how to get the ball rolling again, for me it was about critically check what I was actually nibbling. I cut out almonds, which had become my LC snack obsession. And salty liqourice and pork rinds, due to their salt/sodium content, which made me retain water.
Also, I invested in some L-Carnitine and L-Glutamine to take daily, together with chrome. I also started upping my water intake, since I'd gotten a bit lax in that department. From 2 liters a day to 5 (i.e. more than a gallon daily). Finally I cut my calories down a bit - some of it went automatic, since I cut out the almonds, so I landed at 1600-1800 kcals instead of over 2400 where I had ended up without noticing... I also started skin brushing, a way to promote my blood circulation. Made me feel good and the skin soft at least. 
Started losing pretty quickly after that.
