I've been working on losing 175 pounds for three years now. I lost 110 pounds relatively easily, but then I hit a six-month plateau. I was eating 1200-1500 calories and exercising daily, but the scale just wouldn't cooperate. I actually wound up gaining about three pounds. I got frustrated and kind of gave up. I'm trying to motivate myself to get started again, but it seems so pointless to go through all of this and just gain weight!

    Don't give up...you have already done an amazing job. Can I ask, are weights part of your workouts??? what type of excercise are you doing? Busting a plateau can be tough, sometimes you just have to change things up a little. Your body gets use to doing the same workouts over and over, so it becomes more efficient and you don't burn as many calories, try changing your routines up.
