Wow, I am in your same situation, and yes it is SO very stressing. Try to keep your chin up and not lose site of your goal.

If you are working out heavily, and hadn't in the past , your joints may be retaining some fluid for a while, making the scale not your friend. Keep doing what you are doing and the number on the scale will catch up to your efforts.

When trying to lose weight they say weigh yourself once a week at the same time, rather than randomly and daily , it will give you a more accurate depiction of your success.

There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat. Depending on your weight and level of activity your body needs x amount of calories per day. When you eat only what your body needs or a safe amount less and burn calories through exercise you are building a deficit. When that deficit reaches 3500 calories you lose 1 pound.

Don't deprive yourself, you have to eat to lose weight, just make sure its the right things and in the right amounts. Give yourself plenty of water as that helps break down fat. Make sure you are eating in the mornings within the first hour that you wake - that helps to get your metabolism started and burning calories through the day.

Don't eat within one hour (or 2 if possible) before going to sleep. Your body and metabolism shut down to a crawl during sleep.

Avoid negetive thoughts that may lead you astray from your goal, know that what you are doing is going to give results and that you will be happier and healthier for it. Good luck :-)

That could be a sign of an adrenal problem. If you lead a stressful life this is probably the cause of a condition known as adrenal fatigue. The best thing you can do is go to a doctor and get a prescription. However, if you chose not to there are lots of adrenal detox systems out there that might work, but the problem is few of them are evaluated by the FDA so they might not actually work. And take it from me, I accidentally mistook adrenal cleansing pills for diet pills and the side-effects were nightmarish. However, this may have just been the pills I took, plus I am not a big person. If you decide to take the over the counter path, just watch out for Cylapril... and I would highly recommend seeing a doctor to make sure you even have adrenal fatigue in the first place.
