Scale hasn't moved in two weeks...why?

MFP set me at 1380 calories a day for a 2 pound loss, i bumped that up to 1700 to incorporate my exercise calories evenly throughout the week because I find it hard to eat an extra 800 calories in one day making good food choices. I eat whole foods for the most part, lots of veggies. Weight is currently about 245.

My food diary is open, please have a look and give thoughts, thanks

    Most likely it is being masked by water weight. I've heard of people going 4 weeks without weight loss, then suddenly there's a water 'whoosh' and 4 lbs are lost overnight. I've gone two weeks without loss and then lost 2 lbs overnight myself.

    Also you should make sure your calorie counts are accurate, and that you didn't over-estimate your calories burned through exercise. Otherwise just be more patient and if the weight doesn't drop within another week or two, maybe you need to drop back your calories.

    Try eating more. I am about 50 less than you and eat at 1700 not including exercise calories.

    It seems that you eat a lot of sodium by looking at your diary. Maybe try to lower that? How much water are you drinking in a day? Your diary doesn't have any so I'm not sure if you really aren't drinking much or just aren't logging it.
