I found what works for me is watching the carbs but not the calories. I eat until I'm confortable at each meal. You may need to look at your fat and protein intake. If your not getting enough, your body thinks it's being starved and holds onto the weight.

Also, did you measure yourself before you started? Some people find they aren't losing based on the scale but in reality the tape measure reveals the lose.

Don't compare yourself to your husband as men can lose the weight easier than women.

Hang in there, it will work, it's just a matter of finding the right balance.
