How many calories are you eating each day approx? And what type of exercise are you doing? Do you typically do the same exercise each time? Maybe outlining your regimen a little will help us all find a potential solution.
Argh, it feels like our hard work is in vain!
I eat anywhere from 1400-1500 calories a day, but sometimes I find it hard to get up to that much. I don't really know how/when that happened.. but I'm sure I could have easily eaten that much in a meal from McDonalds before..
I planned it so my weight loss is stemmed nearly entirely from my calorie intake, but I exercise for the health benefits + a few more calories burned.
2 days a week I do strength training with a resistance band and a ToneItUp workout video on youtube (lately it's been ab work, since I'm doing arms with the band and running for my legs.. and my belly is becoming my problem area) and the other 4 days, I go for a run.. normally 2-3K but trying to get a faster time each time, with a 1-2K walk with the dog afterwards as a cool down.
The thought of exercise used to intimidate the heck out of me, so when I discovered I actually enjoy running, I've basically stuck with it. My ultimate far-away goal is to run an entire 5K, but that's a loooong way away, haha.
