    Had a look at your diary but you don't seem to log very consistently - I only found 2 days food logged in 2 weeks and on one day you only ate about 700 calories.

    I would suggest that you go back to logging everything you are eating and consider upping your calorie goal. I am 5ft 3 and currently 162lbs. My calorie goal is set to lose 1/2 lb per week which is about 1500 calories plus I eat about half of my exercise calories. Basically I make sure that I NET 1200-1300 calories per day.

    You could also work out your BMR and TDEE and eat in between those two and you should still lose weight. Try the fat 2 fit radio website to get an idea of what you should be eating - it helped me.
