Do you eat your exercise calories?
I generally do not eat my exercise calories. I consistently eat from 1100-1200 calories a day. My fitbit tracks how many calories I burn, and I have never even gotten close to eating what I burn. At some point I will have to increase so I stop losing.

How often is it okay to eat?
my nut tells me to eat 3 small meals and 2-3 Snacks a day, eating every 2 to 3 hours. I exercise 6 days a week, and have been extremely successful losing 83 pounds so far. I stick with high Protein low carb, no white carbs, but I am allowed high Fiber toast and English muffins. This is my life style and the way I will eat. I track every morsel of food, and I monitor my calorie intake. I eat 800-1200 calories a day. On Maintenance I will need to eat more. I could not get in my protein in 3 meals. Nobody is fooling themselves, and everyones plan is different.

11 months out and no weight loss for half of it
What I find interesting here, is although you are eating some bad carbs, your calorie intake at 1200 calories still should support losing weight. Before I had the gastric sleeve, when I slimmer pre-kids, I lost 35 pounds on weight watchers, I ate everything but still lost weight, as I was burning more than I took in, so a hard question. Are you estimating what you are eating in MFP or putting actuals. It may make a difference.
