I don't mean to be a drag, but if you feel you're doing everything possible to lose weight (within reason), and it's not coming off, maybe it's time to goo see your doctor and inquire about your thyroid? I've never experienced it myself, but I do know people who ended up finding out it was their thyroid causing all the weight gain and inability to lose any. Worth checking out.
Also, sometimes we tell ourselves that we are working hard and eating healthy and that it's by pure miracle that the weight isn't coming off! But once you start logging, and logging honestly (ughh I even used to cheat myself that that too!), you will find just how much you're actually putting into your body and how much you actually should be consuming.
For about a year I was stuck at 170 and the scale would not move. Up down around. Nope. And I kept telling myself that I was eating healthy and working out...and I was, but the amount of calories I was burning as opposed to how much I was eating, resulted in about 1700 calories at the end of the day...which exactly how much my body burns at rest. No wonder I stayed at the same weight.
I don't know if you already track calories and such, but try a very, very strict calorie moderating plan for a week. What worked for me was Slim Fast. I saw what 1200-1400 calories per day looks like, feels like, and how much I need. After one week, you'll perhaps have the same epiphany as me. I started losing after one steady week, which convinced me that it wasn't so much bad luck on me for not losing all the weight, but that I was really not doing it right.
Good luck!!!!
