After reading many articles on stress I am making some changes to hopefully counteract it. First off caffeine, I love coffee, but it is not helping. It can raise cortisol levels 30% in an hour. So I will have to have some healthy shakes for my morning commute or perhaps some herbal teas. I am also adding in Rhodiola Rosea as a supplement, it is supposed to relax you and help fight off Cortisol. I am hopeful. Finally, I am not going to drink the craft beers I love for a month to see what the results are. Tired of being fat.

you work can your butt off ALL you want, but if you are over consuming calories you will not lose weight. Simple as that, people love to make it complicated....how many calories are you eating a day? Are you tracking them accurately? How did you find your caloric intake goal?
Yes, while stress does not help fat loss it wont impact you that much that you wont lose weight at all. Do not drop the coffee, bad idea...coffee is actually great when dieting as it aids in an appetite suppression (between the hot beverage and the caffeine content)....Drop the supplements, and there is no reason you cant have your beer moderately if you can fit it in your calories.
