I can empathize with your frustration--been there myself.
It always helped me to not weigh so often when things stalled--to wait 2 or 3 days in between weighing because the number on the scale was so disappointing and did not help me, but instead discouraged me.
If we have a slow transit time, our digestive process can hinder things metabolizing. Too much salt or not enough water can cause fluid retention. And getting less than 7-8 hours sleep each night can prevent fat burning.
Once I reached maintenance, then I weighed daily and allowed a 2 pound variance...once I exceeded 2 pounds, it is back on the diet for me.
So--hang in there and try to figure out what is going on. Eventually you'll figure it out and start losing again.
