Can't see your food diary .. I don't think you have it set correctly.

Yes, your diary isn't public. Go to My Home, Setting then Diary settings to change it to public. In any case, 2 weeks is not anything to worry about. Be patient and consistent, eat at a sustainable deficit and the weight will come off. :flowerforyou:

Could be that you just started working out and your muscles are retaining water. Or it's your time of the month soon. Or you're not weighing your food properly and/or overestimating your calorie burns. Do you use a food scale and a HRM? what kind of exercise do you do?

As for your diary, I do see a couple of red flags. Your protein is usually quite low, as well as your fiber. That could be the quick add calories which don't give you any values other than calories, so they're not giving us a true picture of your intake. If I were you, I would weigh or measure everything and log it accurately. It seems time consuming at first, but once you have all your favourites in there, it's usually just a matter of checking off the boxes. Another thing that I do that really seems to help is log the day before. That way I won't be scrambling around at end of day trying to find something to fill my protein targets or whatever, plus this preplanning is helpful when grocery shopping.

Go over these excellent threads here and figure out your TDEE and BMR if you haven't already, figure out a sustainable calorie deficit for yourself and set your macro targets. They should also cover most any other initial questions and concerns you might have too.

Try putting all your weigh-ins into a tool like trendweight.com and see if that changes your perspective. In my graph, there are lots of days where my weight is level or goes up, but the trend clearly shows me I'm making progress...
