Hi sweetie, I think you’re doing everything right. Just try to stay positive and be patient. I know you exercise and I also know you’ve had a few stumbles (like we all do) so just focus on the fact that you haven’t gained. Eventually that scale will move in the right direction.
Hmm…doesn’t look bad to me. I don’t know how Weight Watchers works, so it’s hard for me to say if you’re doing something wrong. (I count calories). I would say it all looks healhty to me
I know I keep riding on the sodium, but would you have a way to write down the sodium too? Maybe make a little note and check how much sodium you take in over the day. I am just riding on it, because the weeks where I really step back with the sodium are the weeks I am doing good with weight loss. Sodium would mainly be water but it still can slow down your weight loss. Could also be that your body just takes a step back and takes a break from losing. In that case, all you can do is to keep going. Don’t give in. Fight back and your body has to give in at one point. You can do this 
Also, what is your workout schedule like? Diet is only one part, workouts are very important too
It could be that you don’t workout enough or to much
