Missthing1974,
Don't discourage! It is obvious to me that you are very disciplined and working hard towards your goal.
Keep on your regiment of healthy eating and exercise and you will get there!
Something to consider; fasting has been shown to slow your metabolism. Subsequently, because of that slowdown, your workouts are not as effective and when you start eating again your body has a harder time burning off those calories.
If you find yourself struggling, seek a professional consultation. See what light they can shine on this subject.
Keep persevering!
