    Now you got the food thing sorted out, if you are going to weigh yourself every day do yourself a favor and use an app like Trendweight. That way the fluctuations won't make you so crazy.

    Also look at the choices you get when you enter an item....... It can vary greatly not only in cals but also macros. Bar scanning is good, then weigh wilds, measure liquids. If you are in doubt of an item or you get an item (let's say avocado again) that has different cals listed for same item then I would use 'usda avocado' and look for grams or oz to get the best info. It sounds cumbersome but if you don't have a large amount of weight to lose it makes more of a difference if you are 100 or 200 cals a day off.

    When you eat packaged foods, don't go by what it says on the label. I remember once the label said that a serving size was 1 ounce or about 14 tortilla chips. For a day or 2, I counted out 14 chips for my serving. Then I decided to weigh them, and 1 ounce was actually 8-9 chips.

    In addition to the weighing and logging accurately, you may just have to be patient. It took me 5 weeks of being very consistent and accurate to start losing weight. We're all different - some people drop weight right away, others don't. And, the closer to goal you are the more accurate, consistent, and patient you have to be.

    I started counting my calories 3 weeks ago I'm on a 1,350 calorie deficit and I haven't gone over, I work out for 70 min 6 days a week, and the first week I lost 7lbs, but this past 2 weeks I haven't lost anything and I'm doing exactly the same thing I did the first week. It does get pretty annoying knowing that you're trying your hardest and yet no results, but I guess just be patient and don't give up.

    Pizza can't hurt you much as long as you're in control of the number of slices you eat. Budget for it, figure out how much you can eat of it, and stick to that amount. That way you'll still stay in calorie-deficit mode, but you won't be tortured with those thoughts of "I can never eat my favorite food XYZ again." Also, you're doing great at a slow, steady loss rate, considering how close you are to your ideal weight.

    I'm guessing you're trying to lose 2lbs a week. Based on your BMR, you're likely eating too little to support your activity and thereby your body is adapting by reducing your RMR which is where you burn the most bodyfat (homeostasis).
    Your BMR is approximately 1550 and then add in your exercise along with every day activity and I'm guessing it's well over 2600+ calories. And you're eating half of that. Body is very smart and if it can't conserve energy due to exercise, it will conserve it at rest.
    May sound dumb, but you like should just reduce 500 calories from your TDEE and see how that goes first.
