    That does sound frustrating. If it were me, I would go see my doctor and see if there is something underlying going on causing you to not lose. If you are excerising and following your calorie intake, you should be seeing some sort of result after that much time.
    Don't give up though. Best of Luck to you.

    Are you actually eating enough calories? I know thats an odd question but you might want to make sure you are getting enough. Also check through your diet and see where the calories are coming from.

    Maybe thats not an answer but thats where I would check.

    Beer will do it.

    Also, eat breakfast if you arent already.
    It gets your metabolism moving earlier.
    And like was already said, eat your calories or close to it.
    Try to limit how much you go over.
    I know the more I drink and party, the more I feel just larger in general the next day and its added calories on top of that.

    try logging everything. every bite. at the time you do it, not just as a recap here. it makes a difference and gives you time to eat those necessary calories. keep a few nuts on hand. they make a huge difference/
