Without using a heart rate monitor, it is difficult to assess what levels you are working at. (ie. are you buring fat or carbs?)

Your nutrition is probably integral to the whole puzzle. I worked with a doctor who analyzed my health situation, devised a plan, supported me and kept me accountable. The weight has been off for over a year and I will never go back!
 
Yeah i think your diet is more the likely the collprut here. You should have 5-6 meals a day and just fruit as a meal isn't going to give you the goods you need to keep that muscle happy and that fat burning.

Each person is different, but try this on for size with what you are doing and see if you get a difference. If you don't understand what is what, then look at the group below to figure out what goes where. The most important thing for me anyway is to get protien in every meal.

Meal 1:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (large serving)
Meal 2:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (large serving)
Meal 3:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (small serving or none), Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad)
Meal 4:
Lean Protein, Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad), essential fat
Meal 5
Lean Protein, Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad), essential fat
Meal 6

Berries Nectarines Plums
Grapes Peaches Cantaloupe
