Not losing weight after 2 months..HELLLLLP MEEEEE

"Most weight loss occurs because of decreased caloric intake.
However, evidence shows the only way to maintain weight loss is to be engaged in regular physical activity."

If you eat fewer calories than your body needs to run, you will lose weight.
Doesn't matter if you're overeating due to low thyroid, loving food, injury impairing your ability to exercise...
it's all the same problem: you are eating more calories than your body needs to run.

I feel like I am an anomaly!

Many people do. Few are.

I am at a loss as to what is the matter with me that I am not losing.
I put in to lose 1.5 pounds per. What the heck is the matter with me folks?

You are eating more calories than your body needs to run.
It's that simple.
Also, unless you have about 60 lb to lose, a goal of 1.5 per week isn't really reasonable or healthy.

I also stay within my calories which work out to be 1260 (I was on 1600 at first, lowered it to 1400 because I did not lose, and then lowered it again to 1260).

So which is your goal weight: 160, 140, or 126?
Use a BMI chart http://www.shapeup.org/bmi/bmi6.pdf to find a healthy goal weight (green range) and eat 10x that weight in calories. This is the method my doctor & dietician use.
And if you're stuck at a plateau (for a month for women) drop 50 calories.

I don't want to be a 180-pound muscle. I should weigh about 150-160.
I looked over my weeks and averaged out my days and the AVERAGE still stays at about 1260-1300 (NET calories).

Ignore net calories, ignore exercise calories. (Again, this is what my doctor told me. He's an endocrinologist & in charge of the weight-loss program at the hospital, so I think he knows what he's talking about.)
1 - most people underestimate what they eat
2 - most people, and machines, and MFP, overestimate calories burned
Stay under your 1600 cal goal every day. That's TOTAL calories, not net, not average.
Once in a while if you're really hungry at the end of the day have 1/3 to 1/2 of your exercise calories, but don't make a habit of it.

Nutrition might be the key. Try alternating day of carbs, high carbs, low carbs, low carbs. Increase protein as well. Skooby website. Keep the body guessing. If you are doing the same thing then you might get the same results. I agree that you have to figure out what works, low carbs, low fat, carb cycling, and here's one...too many fruits. Friends of mine just lost 16 pounds on nutri system come to find out she was eating too many fruits. A few was ok.
