Maybe it's stress.

So, you've been eating Paleo and working out consistently but aren't quite losing weight like you thought.  Then it's time to look at the rest of your life.  Are you sleeping enough? Are you able to relax and leave work at work? Feeling overwhelmed? Too much to do. Too little time. Even a little bit of day-to-day stress can have a big physiological effect. Particularly if it's the type of stress over which you have no control.  Read more here.

Here's a well thought-out post on going partially Paleo. It can take what feels like monumental effort to start and stay Paleo. Is it worth it?

"The joys I talked about [in Paleo at its Best] are not easily earned - last year all it took was one week out of every six in Pseudo mode to strip away much of the buzz.

Brunette.....red-head....going paleo?.......wait a minute..!!Yeah, that's right.  First they went wildcat and started their own longer and more stringent paleo/CrossFit Genius journey to awesomeness challenge.  Now they've gone and started a virtual, paleo cookbook with all kinds of yummy recipes and preparation tips. (We won't even mention Meagan and the burpee thing.)  Actually, the cookbook....we asked them to do.  No matter how much good nutrition information we can give you, when it comes to throwing ingredients together and coming up with anything that resembles a blueplate special, let alone haute cuisine...well, let's just say, we know our limitations.  Meagan and Tricia will be posting recipes and other food-related info here.  Bookmark it.  Check it often.  If you have recipes you want to share or questions to ask, send them on. Much deliciousness to come.  Oh, and for the record, the burpee thing was Tony's idea.
