Is a plateau at 5 months common?

I have searched in the library and found it common that people experience a plateau around the 5 month mark. I was so hoping to hit the century mark by the 5 month mark but I made it to -97#. I am so happy about that, but now I seem stuck for the past two weeks, not one pound gone! I guess my question is... can others please tell me if this was common for them and when did it pick up again. I am drinking water like a horse, and trying to stick to protiens with no luck. Another problem I have is I only go to the bathroom every few days and only with the help of colace. Could that contribute? Thanks for any advise you may have.
