    what's you goal weight loss per week? are you tracking your sodium? if your goal weight loss is set at 0.5 lbs/week and you're eating too much sodium, you could easily be retaining more water than the weight you've lost and therefore not showing any movement on the scale.

    hi, ok I'm going to be honest, today is fine, I personally think you need to log what you make your oats up with as thats missing and that potato was a heavy potato, but today was ok. Now the last 3 days (i didnt look any further) theres 3 or 4 packs of crisps, high salt, high bad fat, no nutrition, Take aways.... anyway I didnt notice exercise?. But my advice - eat clean, that means detox from all the packaged stuff, yes today was ok but the days before weren't so I'd go to the library get some books on nutrition there are so many, i recommend lean and clean diet, or south beach. They worked for me, join a gym, one pack of crisps if you must a week but 3 in 3 days, theres your answer. Good luck I truly wish you all the best with it. :)

    You say your BMI is just hanging in the healthy range so you haven't got much weight to lose. 1.5lb a week is probably unrealistic.

    I agree, if you're in the healthy bmi range then your tactics have to be a bit cleverer. Are you doing any strength training? Definitely, eat a bit cleaner, and do you really eat 3 bananas in one day? I'd also suggest tracking your sugar.

    set your calories to lose 1lb per week

    eat back your exercise calories (because you dont have a lot to lose)

    eat a LOT more protein - aim for 100g per day

    aim to get at least 5 portions of fruit and veg per day

    add strength training to your exercise routine if you dont already do it.
