in Health and Weight Loss
I am not sure exactly what I am doing wrong. I am hesitant to make a more drastic calorie cut but I want to take the weight off. Recommendations?

I am guessing I need to increase my activity and decrease my calories. Any kind support and diary review would be helpful!

    Weight loss is not linear. My first two weeks of losing weight I gained two pounds. Keep at it for a couple more weeks and if you still aren't losing, reevaluate your logging.

    Your diary looks fine. You are likely retaining some water due to starting a new routine. Give it some time. Some weeks you'll go down, others you may show a gain. Just remember than a 20oz bottle of water will weigh 1.3 pounds so it's easy to mask weight loss if you have more water in your system.

    Did you get fat in a week? No? Then relax and lower your expectations.

    I gained the first three weeks of starting my weight loss journey. Throughout the months I've had weeks where I have gained and weeks where I have lost. You cannot just focus on the scale, it will drive you crazy. Give it more time before you become concerned.
