Check my food diary please

Could try tracking your fats instead of something else for a bit, just to see how it adds up.

You are going to get a lot of conflicting advice here, so you have to remember that we all are going with our own philosophy about weight loss. But here's my 2-cents worth.

I notice you are avoiding grains and most other carbs. You have a banana, but very little else. Are you aiming for a low-carb diet?
I personally would add more HEALTHY carbs into your diet - whole grains (whole wheat bread, oatmeal - not the instant kind, etc). There is lots of fiber and nutrition in the whole grain. Also, add a lot more vegetables. Again, you may up your carbs, but it comes with a lot of fiber, vitamins, and phytonutrients (chemicals that occur naturally in plant materials which are good for us, but science hasn't figured out how to put them all into a vitamin pill - or even identified everything for that matter). In my experience, if your body is not getting enough nutrients, it may be harder to lose weight. You might also want to add in a good multivitamin if you aren't already taking one ("good" doesn't necessarily mean expensive).

I would also track sodium instead of sugar. You are already tracking carbs, and tracking sugar as well is pretty much redundant (again, just my opinion!) I read recently that sugar in fruits is not the same as added sugar, because fruits also contain chemicals (nutrients) that tell your body what to do with the sugar so it gives you energy instead of just spiking your blood sugar levels and being converted to fat (it was in Parent's magazine, from a nutritionist about what kids should be eating, and I figure it applies to us as well). So, since you know to avoid sweets (and when you do indulge, it factors into your calories, so you aren't going to go overboard), you don't really need to track sugar. But I've found that it's super easy to go over on sodium, and that can make it hard to break through a plateau.

Change up your exercise routine. The easiest way to do that is to go to the library (or if you have Netflix, check there, too) and find some workout DVDs of things you've never tried before. You can try them basically for free so if you hate them you aren't out anything but if you love them, you can look for something more, either a live class or consider buying the DVD. When your body gets too used to your exercise routine, you burn less calories doing it, and you can plateau. If you walk/run try increasing your speed or adding in some intervals of high speed. And if you don't do any resistance, add that into your routine (yoga & pilates count, or you can try Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, ripped in 30, or No more Trouble Zones; or other similar things). Building muscle boosts your metabolism.

I know how frustrating this can be. I've been playing with the same 2 pounds since Christmas. But I know that at least I am making myself healthier with the exercise and eating better, and once I figure out what is holding me back it will break through. Hang in there and good luck!

I agree sodium intake an be high-very high some days !

everyone has to tweek something somewhere different things for different people x

I noticed you're eating a lot of the same foods every day or every other day. Try changing your calorie intake by 100-200 calories in between days to help boost your metabolism. Have a day when you go a few hundred calories over( on healthy foods, like vegetables and nuts) and then have a day when you're right around your goal intake. Also, if you change what types of food you eat like maybe adding some more vegetables and cutting out some processed meat and fast food, your body will notice the change and will burn more calories naturally, causing you to lose more weight.

Sodium looks high, protein looks low. I look at total fat and cal. from fat also.

Good advice x

It looks like you're retaining water.

Get an allergy test. I saw a Dr.Oz episode where allergies cause the lining of your intestines to be inflamed, absorbing nutrients abnormally, making food leach into the body. If you can't get tested, try eating an allergy free diet for three weeks. You'll find it on the Dr.Oz website. The two biggest culprits: Milk and Wheat

Avoid the following foods that contain a derivative of milk:
CANNED TUNA
PROCESSED MEATS
COLD CUTS
PROTEIN BARS
PROTEIN SHAKES
BAKED GOODS
DAIRY

I would say try to incorporate more natural, unprocessed foods (fruits and veggies) into your diet and the fat and sodium will take care of themselves. Preplanning your food intake for the day helps too! I do it every morning to get an idea where I will be and then tweak it during the day but you can always see the outcome of your whole day and not be surprised when you get to the evening and have no calories, etc. left to eat.

Also, if you have to eat bacon,choose the low sodium kind or switch to Canadian Bacon.

I think maybe salt is a problem here. I see canned chicken which contains salt.

Just try upping your water intake for a few days and I think you'll get a few lb drop.

Good luck!

Lol, I took that "cut your calories" advice when I began and I went an entire month with 1 lb lost, got my calories closer to my BMR and now, 2 lbs a week, different strokes for different folks.
I think for the most part you like many posters have already said, need to rethink your diet, too much processed not enough fruits and veggies. Better switch sugar out for fat too, I think you are going to be suprised. Healthy fats are fine but the fat in processed foods like bacon are going to suprise you. My husband is diabetic and his doc said total carbs was more important than sugar.
