    I know you don't want to hear (excuse me, "read") this, BUT.....
    You are eating more calories than you think you are.

    A lot of the entries in your diary, looking back over a few days, are "homemade". Are these your recipes entered into the calculator or an entry that you found in the database? If these are off, it could add up to hundreds a day, which could be why the scale isn't moving.

    Have you ever read this? Myfitnesspal Guide to sexypants

    As to motivation....attitude really is everything. If you adopt the mindset that you are going to do this, REALLY do this, come heck or high water, then you will achieve success. If you are only able to see exercise and logging as a burden, then chances are, you won't succeed.

    i do understand i need to weigh and accurately log my food properly, i guess that is the main problem, so i am willing to accept that, but even having said that i feel like since ive been working out for 6-7 weeks already approx. 5 times a week i should have at least lost something. am i crazy?

    Not if you have been close to maintenance all the time, because its the existence of a deficit that determines if you lose weight. If youd had one proplery sorted out when you started then you ould have had 5/6 weeks weight loss.

    How hard are you working during your 5-6 times weight loss a week?

    You should get c1lb loss a week just from that depending on what you are doing.

    im working for about an hour and really sweating and out of breath. i dont know how else to quantify it, i'm not just barely doing the work. for me, i'm really working at it.

    I agree with one of the other posters - at 5'6, 142 lbs, you haven't much to lose. The last pounds are always the toughest. I hope you find a solution - but if you don't I'll bet you look fabulous already!

    they really are the toughest, so frustrating! thanks though for the positivity, much needed :)
