You have three options:  1. keep with it and lose weight at whatever pace. 2. give up and maintain. 3. give up and risk going backwards. 

I also had trouble losing weight at first and only lost 15lb the first SIX MONTHS I was trying -- I was in serious trouble because I was in a lot of pain, so my choice was either go forward, or go backwards and slowly kill myself. I may not be Little Miss Sunshine now, but not being in constant pain definitely improved the quality of my life.

With that being said, here are a few things I could think of to maybe help you along: 

Check your calorie count and activity level

Buy a food scale and weigh your portions -- you could easily be over-estimating

If you cook grains (rice, quinoa, barley, etc), make sure the measurements for them are consistent. Are you weighing them cooked, or uncooked? An uncooked serving is usually 1/4 cup; cooked is 1 cup. There is a huge difference in the calorie count if you mix those two up.

Are you counting your cooking oils, sauces, and drinks in your calorie count? EVERYTHING counts.
