First of all, you're letting your scale dictate your life. That's gotta change. You need to also start using a tape measure. I found even when the scale isn't budging, the measurements are getting smaller. Keep track on your computer or in a notebook or something.
Secondly, jumping on and off the scale all day long isn't good. Every time you drink something your weight will go up. Every time you pee it'll go down. Plus, some scales are just notoriously unreliable. If you can, try to buy a scales that will give you the same reading when you get on it a few times. Or you might just want to check that your scales are on an even, level surface too.
Another thing is that for me, exercising tends to either make me retain a lot of fluids, or else I make muscle very quickly. I suspect its a combination of both. But that's another reason why it is important to track your measurements.
Also, try using www.mybodycomp.com it has you measure a lot of spots. I use it once a month and I'm usually quite pleased by how much I lose in inches each month.
Finally, if nothing else seems to work and you're not losing inches or pounds, try lowering the calories more. I'm losing at a nice pace on 1200 a day.
