I am experiencing similar problems. I can't get away from 178 no matter what I do. I got to 175 and was so happy I even changed my stats, but today I am back at a steady 178. I have vowed to quit so many times and even had a eat anything in sight binge day which I felt absolutely horrible the next day and I gained 7 pounds that day as well. I know it was all water as I was back to 178 the next day, but it scared me enough to get back on the wagon the next morning. I will just keep on trying, eating right and exercising and keep my faith that one day the weight will come off. And if it is slow then so be it, I eat better now than I have in years, no sugar, no refined anything and I actually eat more veggies now than before. Hang in there, and if you get tempted or discouraged post here. There are so many folks here willing to lend a word of encouragement and wonderful advice that there is no reason not to succeed! Good luck to you!
