Need some advice before I pull my hair out.

I started working out on Dec 5 2011, at 263 lbs and by June of 2012 I was down to 183 pounds. Went from not being able to run a block to running 3-5 miles 3 days a week, and doing Warrior Dashs, etc. I have been working out 3-5 days a week as well. Heres my problem. I have lost weight in every single area, but my love handles, lower stomach area seems like I havent done anything at all. I have gotten noticeably thinner in each are but they are still there. Its very frustrating. My question is what would you guys recommend for this?

This should save you some time, OP.

~ Get rid of your misconceptions
~ Calculate your calories and macros
~ Eat about 20% less calories than your TDEE (http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/) each day while still meeting minimum protein and fat. Get the remainder of cals from carbs.
~ Buy a kitchen scale and weigh everything that you eat.
~ Count calories using a site like MyFitnessPal. Here's how to count properly.
~ Lift heavy weights to preserve muscle mass

Also can this info be used for females as well, along with the weight training routines?

Stubborn fat is stubborn. You simply have to continue cutting.
