I'm having a similar problem.  I went to summer camp with my work this summer and after not losing anything for over a month, I lost about 5 or 6 lbs.  I went from 204 to 198....within days I was back at 204.  2 weeks later I went on an 8 day cruise.  I came home weighing 196 and now i'm back fluxuating from 201 to 206lbs.  my diet of course is different when I'm not home and I know I can sure do my part by exercising more, but I have this feeling of defeat....like I'm done losing.  I've heard from many many many friends and other sources that this happens and that the weight loss will pick up again.  We just have to keep up with our protein and exercise.  Its easier said than done, I know, when you feel like this might be the end!  

How is your diet and activity??

Glad I found this post...I was searching for something on these boards b/c I'm having a similar prolem. Have been doing tons of walking and eating right and I weighed myself expecting I'd lost a few lbs. and it went up 2 lbs.! I don't get near enough protein in b/c I hate the supplements, but in the past it doesn't seem like the amount of protein had anything to do with the weight loss. In fact, when I increase the protein my weight sometimes goes up! I guess I'm just in one of those "stalls" they talk about.
As for your comment about this being the end...don't let it be! I'm thinking "Screw you" to that to myself and just cutting back on eating and just re-evaluating my intake of protein and exercising more. I have much more weight to lose and I can't accept that I'm done yet...I'm only 4 months out!
