Well, it sure sounds like your trying hard to realize your goal, good for you.
Can I ask.....about your workouts.... do you get your heartrate up.... and do you keep it up for say 15-20minutes? I find doing this really burns the calories and my waistline returns.
Right now I have 'that holiday bulge' around the middle again and I'll melt it away from walking my 55 minute walking loop that has 9 big uphills and 7 downhills for balance! Doing that 4-5 times a weeks will do it for me....
So, look at how you can get that heart rate up and maintain it for at least 15 or 20 minutes, if you're not already do that. Perhaps a treadmill that you can lift the front end on so you're walking uphill!!!!!
Good luck and hope this helps alittle. Oh, while eliminating all flour products, add lots of veggies and some rice!!!!

It would have been helpful to know what kind of workout you did.
The bottom line to losing weight is to burn more energy than you consume. This means you are either- eating too much (alternatively exercising too little) and/or have "wrong" eating habits.
By wrong eating habits, I mean you might not be eating often enough for example. You really need to get into the habit of eating small meals frequently (4-6 times a day). This is important to boost your metabolism. Remember to drink plenty of water and not to overdo it on carbs (if you eat too many carbs, i.e. more than you burn, the body has no problem converting them to fat).
Now, as far as exercise goes it would be best to do it more often (whatever it is you do). The best thing you can do is to do weights at the gym. Unlike cardio workout they boost your metabolism like nothing else. Each pound of muscle you put on requires calories daily to upkeep. Weight training is really effective. Of course doing a cardio as well is even better...
Here is a link that will help you calculate the calories you burn every day. This together with the things I wrote above should help you get better results.

If you want more specific advice then drop a question in my inbox (and plz include info like what you eat, what exercise you do or wont do etc.).
Good luck.

Exercise more. Trust me, 2 times a week is not nearly enough. Since your goal isn't that much, try maybe 4 times a week, and work out for at least 30 minutes each time.

Try to go harder during that workout. Really push yourself and try to exert as much energy as you can. You should aim to loose about 2 lbs a week.
