I think your carbs and your calories are too low.
Up them both! Include some carbs (approved fruit or veggies) in your breakfast and lunch, put the string cheese back in (you can have up to 3 oz., 1 oz. is definitely okay!). I would also add a little more fat -- you don't want to "overdo", but at 180 pounds and keeping your carbs around 20, I think you could use a little more.
I've seen many, including myself, that see the scale slow down and immediately think we should eat less -- seems like the obvious solution. That isn't always the case. If we eat too little food and/or get not enough nutriants from healthy carbs, our bodies will hold on to everything as a way of self preservation. Not enough fat can do the same thing -- gotta have the fat to help get those nutriants to the right place, as well as to keep your system eliminating the waste.
