Hit a wall (maybe never started)

So I know it's probably too early to really be posting this. But I feel like I need a little encouragement.

I'm 5'1 and I weigh close to 200 pounds. I never really thought of it being that much, but my view of myself is skewed. I look in the mirror I am okay with myself (mostly) from my belly button up. I don't care for my muffin top and thighs.
I'm a pear, I know that's where I accrued the most fat, but I decided that I needed to make an effort to start losing some of that.

Today is my 65th day on MFP, and although it has helped me define outlines for myself, I haven't lost a pound in nearly a month. I have a desk job and I don't eat many bad things. I have a normal lunch and I don't overindulge unless I really feel like I deserve it. I work out very intensely with a personal trainer twice a week. I do plan on going more often but I just can't seem to shake this stupid belly fat no matter what I do. I know the fat didn't come on over night and it won't go away over night, but I'm just having a really hard time and I'm starting to get down on myself about it. I've tried upping my cals, downing my cals, switching things out, and weighing everything I eat. I log almost to the point what I eat. Just don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I should probably also add I'm the person to the far left in my picture.
I am also coming to terms with what I actually look like. I go to bodygallery.com and enter my height/weight, and I look at those ladies and say to myself, "that's not me" but when I get into the gym, I realize I look like those ladies. Guess I'm just having a rough one....
