hi Sherry, what a bummer..
I understand though .... I was stalled out from mid-December to the end of May ... and I swear I did everythign right too ..... but by keeping an honest daily diary at fitday.com (I thought I was too busy too ... but it's amazing how you can find a few minutes in another window while yer job is open in another ) .. anyway I discovered I was consuming under 1,100 calories a day on a fairly consistent basis. I thought I was eating lots. Go figure
So, I added fat. Not gobs of flab on my meat .. I still pull the skin off my chicken .... but I added an extra Tbsp x.virgin olive oil to my salad (or season it and use as a dip for the strips of pancake stuff) .. also 1 Tbsp fresh flax oil every day. The 2 Tbsp oil will add about 240 calories. The monounsaturated fat in olive oil will boost fat-burning and weight loss. Wa'il's posted a study on his Studies page about the benefits of olive oil. The omega-3 fatty acids in Flax oil are known to inhibit certain prostaglandins which block the enzyme that burns fat. That too has been published, although I confess at the moment I can't remember .... oh yes, Udo Erasmus, Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill.
Sher, I tell ya, within 2 weeks, the weight started losing again. Slow, but steady. I went from 185 first of May, to 176 in July. That was a big deal for me, being stalled for nearly 6 months.
It's something to consider. your menu really does look too way low in calories. Your metabolism must be slowed to a stand-still.
