Just to compare daily logs with people in a similar stage in life. Grad school or just out of college and working. The 'no kids, have cereal and cake for dinner' group.
I know this is an issue for a lot of people on here as it was for me. My job has me walking around and sometimes running around all day, I do not sit down until I get in my car to get home. I recently bought a body bugg to see how many calories I was actually burning throughout the day. It turns out I burn anywhere from 2600-3400 calories on a work day (including my workout) and about 2500 calories on a non work day (including my workout). Which means I need to eat between 1500-2400 calories, and I was only eating strictly 1500 calories. As soon as I started eating an average of 1900 calories a day BAM!-! I started losing 2+ pounds per week! So just a heads up, if you continuously can't lose weight, try eating more for a few weeks and see what happens... but with that eating more, it has to be good for you healthy calories! =]
I wonder if this might be applicable to me because I eat extremely healthy (squash for dinner, oatmeal for breakfast) and exercise well (yoga, weightlifint, runnning) and can just not loose weight. I'll give it a try 
Definitely try it. It works out well for a lot of us! Also, make sure you're eating enough to begin with. Find out what you NET every day. Then go from there.
Like I said in my post above, I had the exact same problem. I used to only eat 1200 calories, then burned off about 300-400 of those in a workout without eating them back. I didn't think I was starving but my body disagreed and I didn't lose a pound until someone on this site suggested eating more. I went to a dietician and got confirmation that I needed to eat an extra 500-800 calories a day! And it worked.
