You're not giving us much info we could use to help you 😉

Sex, height, current weight and goal weight?
What has been your strategy these past 2 weeks?
Are you weighing and logging your food? If so, how many calories have you been eating?
How active are you in daily life? Do you are exercise? If so, is the exercise new?

Often one or more of the issues below apply when people ask for help:
- lack of patience: weight fluctuations are normal, our body weight is influenced by more than just out bodyfat and weight loss is not linear
- new exercise can cause water retention for muscle repair, masking fat loss on the scale
- not eating enough: makes people hangry and can cause water retention from the stress on the body, makes weight loss unpleasant, pushing people to give up
- banning the foods someone likes and/or is used to: makes losing weight an unpleasant experience, pushing people to give up
- inaccurate logging (not weighing foods, not using correct food database entries)

Staying on track is hard to have to try to take it one day, one decision, one meal at a time

Try some "volume eating" to help with not feeling hungry. Think of volume eating as consuming food high on volume, low in calories.

Two of my favorites are a broth based vegetable soup and salads. Both are easy to make. The soup can be as simple as no salt added broth (either beef or chicken) and a can of mixed vegetables. Even better is to dice fresh vegetables. Don't forget to add spices! Add low cal dressing to salads (a tablespoon of seasoned rice vinegar can go a long way)!

A big bowl of broccoli or cauliflower, cucumber and tomato salad, nonfat vanilla yogurt with some diced strawberries. The list goes on.

Try to have something "high volume" with every meal or even as a snack. Persistence, not being in a rush are key. Hang in there!
