    Buy a food scale, weigh everything and log accurately, drink plenty of water to help with water weight so your fluctuations will be minimal, and then be patient.

    Looks like you are double dipping on exercise burns: you are taking the fitbit adjustment, plus logging exercise and cleaning as burns.

    Also for your food diary, stay away from generic listings, homemade, and it doesn't look like you are using a food scale.

    What do u mean by double dipping ??
    Double dipping, you are logging exercise down to 5 minutes here and there, and still taking what fitbit says and is including within your fitbit adjustment so it's over inflating your burns.

    Also you lost 8 lbs in January, you were ready to quit last week because you didn't lose, this takes time and learning. Get a digital food scale to help with accuracy, learn how to better log your food intake, be careful on the calorie burns, and have patience.

    Food entries like these are questionable:
    Gravy - Gravy, 1/4 cup 25 0 0 0 0 0
    Generic - Roast Chicken Dinner, 1 Plate 974 76 43 58 0 0
    Home Made - Bacon Sandwich With Sauce, 1 sandwich

    This is pretty much what I was going to say so I'll just quote.

    I also want to belabor the "have patience" advice....this is a process and you've only been at it for a mere month. I've been at this for about 3 years to put it into perspective for you...

    Is it possible hormonal water weight? I have one week a month where my weight loss slows/stalls, and then I lose 2 lbs overnight the next week - just hormones and water. You will have a better idea of how many calories to eat for x weight loss a week after a couple of months...

    It just takes people longer to lose weight and unfortunately I'm one of those. I usually have about 1500 calories a day and excercise for 20mins 3 times a week and I've been doing it for 2 month and have just started to lose it! Keep going
