Agree with above.  My doctor told me that if you divide your weight by 2 that's how many ounces of water you should be taking in.  Quick check.  your urine should be clear unless you are taking a vitamin, then it will be bright yellow.  i would slow down on the exercise a bit.  i know that it's hard losing weight.  i've been trying to lose 15 pounds over the last year and haven't lost a pound.  I'm about at the end of my rope too.
