are you counting calories ? if your eating salads with full dressing , eggs and chicken to much you will go over your calories. Take a look around the forums and read up on diets. Make sure your drinking lots of water, you should only be drinking water.

Create an account on www.myfitnesspal.com and start counting your calories. There is no other way to measure progress acurately.
You can overeat on salads eggs and chicken.
Eggs = 70 calories per egg
Salad = Depends on what you have and dressing
Chicken is 130-260 per filetLife is easy when you take personal responsibility

As everyone has said, you definitely need to count calories at this point to make educated choices. On top of that given the amount of time you have been cutting its likely you have some metabolic adaptions going on. Consider take a break for a few weeks and eat at your maintenance level before starting back in on your final cut.

Eat less. Move more.
"It doesn't matter what exercise you do, but man was made to move, to eat sparingly, to work hard and to screw as much as he can manage. Do all that, and you will look as good as your genes will let you, be content as the arseholes around you will allow, and maybe get a few screws. The particular virtues of weight training are in the discipline it brings to both mind and body, and, if you do it right, it will make you look good naked and do well what you got your clothes off to do."
