Plateau's?

Maybe you need to up everything a notch. I was already told, once I hit my plateau I'm going to have to hit everything EXTRA hard.

From my perspective: You don't eat nearly enough calories to sustain going to the gym. Your protein levels are set way too low. Fewer calories and more workouts will never break a plateau.

I am in the same boat. I lost 10 lbs fast, but now I am stuck where I am I do run everyday at least 20 min a day, I have upped my calories from 1200 to 1300 plus I eat most of my calories back from exercise ( sorry I am a true fat girl and love food) but now i run 30 mins a day and i am hoping to see the scale move it has been two weeks at 1300 and just this week started at 30 min a day for exercise so I am really hoing to lose more but we will see

I've lost a lot of weight, and continue to lose each week (I'm down to 135.5 lbs). I have my settings at 1500 calories AND I eat my exercise calories back.

Assuming your diary is accurate and up to date, it looks to me like you need to eat more calories. I don't know what your stats(height, weight, etc) are to figure it out exactly but you really shouldn't eat below your BMR. MFP can be sort of confusing because it sets your goal based on how much you want to lose a week. Think of it more as your goal to be changing your body composition(more muscle, less fat) rather than losing weight. Losing weight will happen in that process if you are significantly unfit but it isn't really the goal, per say. It took me a long time to realize that. Also, sometimes it is just a matter of time. You think nothing is changing because that is what the scale says but there are a lot of internal changes taking place.

I don't know what your age is so I am sort of guessing but your BMR is probably around 1370-1450. I wouldn't eat below that. You probably want around 1450 on exercise days and 1370 on non exercise days to lose a pound a week. You might even want to up it a little more and aim for more like a half a pound weight loss a week. If you build up some muscle over time, you can eat even more and still lose weight or maintain. Also, like another poster said, try to change up your exercise routine from time to time. The body gets really efficient at doing the same things over and over.
