Keep at it....  I am just over 1 year out, and having trouble with the scale too!!  However I am still down 150#, and those are not coming back!!!  If you are losing inches that is good too!!!   Remember this is a lifestyle change, you have done well so far... just keep working your tool!!!

Even if the scale isn't moving down, the fact that your inches are means you're still doing well. It's a well-stated truism that muscle weighs more than fat... and the fact that your tape measure is getting smaller means you are probably replacing one for the other.

Don't give up! Be glad that you're losing fat and NOT losing muscle! Keep going, and keep working. Stick to your plans, make sure you're following all your guidelines. Maybe take a break from stepping on the scale as often... instead of once a week, try once every 2-3 weeks, and see if that helps. Focus on the inches lost, and try to keep a good attitude and you will continue to succeed!

Up your water intake, up the protein you're eating, not drinking.

Throw the scale away!!!  Inches are more important!

That's what seems to help me.
