    I feel for you. I am with those suggesting avoiding the scale and searching for other measurements: tape measurements, body fat analysis (you can get a handheld one online). I've gained at my last weigh in (monthly, mind you), but discovered I'd lost multiple INCHES and actually lost body fat, gaining muscle! I'll take that!

    As with those quoted below, I have dropped refined foods: grains, sugars, etc. and have upped my protein intake (not to crazy levels, but enough to support building muscle that helps give you a fit look.

    Take care, and feel free to friend me!
    When you are ready to get off the calorie reduction treadmill of heart ache I strongly suggest you try real food such as offered in "The Primal Blueprint" or many other eating plans that rightfully ditch whole grains in favor of REAL carbs like dark leafy greens and lots of other nutrient dense vegetables. You are half way there with your proteins and fats such as eggs, etc...

    I would drop all grains, and all sugar, and all starches like potatoes, yams, etc...for two weeks and just see how you feel.

    I am not saying go really low carb, I am saying switch to vegetables for your carbs. Eat HUGE salads with real salad oil on them.

    What you are doing is not working and I know your heartache because I been there.

    I agree with the above but also introduce more protein in your diet if you are working out. Your muscles need this to repair and build. You can also look into "Clean Eating", my sister inlaw has had huge success with this (since July she has lost over 40 lbs and over 40 inches). The whole principle to to cut out processed, pre-packaged meals and make from scratch. "Tosco Reno" has many books including cookbooks that make it easier.

    Good luck
