Weight not moving-what am I doing wrong??

Hey guys I'm a bit stuck. I'm sitting between 79-80kg(174-176) and have been for around 6 weeks. It's driving me slightly crazy. I THINK there has been some change in my body shape as my clothes are fitting better but as I still have another 20kg(44pounds) to lose I'd really like to see the scales move!
Can people please have a look at my diary and tell me where I am going wrong?
The last week has been a bit off as a friends husband died and it's all been a bit of a mess. I drink between 1.5-3 litres of water daily but don't log it as it annoys me clicking the arrow. When you see coffee on my diary thats instant coffee with one sugar and a splash of skim milk. I measure and weigh all the food I prepare myself and probably over estimate calories when I go out. All exercise is measured with a HRM and I don't log things like cleaning, work(in an animal pound) or flyball(dog sport). I have my level set to lose 1 pound a week with 5 days of 30 minutes exercise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey Sal,
Good news nd bad news :-)
The good news is you can DEFINATELY modify this to lose weight! The bad news is you need to completely change your eating style.
Here's an excerpt from. Wellfitlife.me, read the articles on there and you WILL lose weight
1. Take 3 to 6 grams of omega 3 from fish oil a day.
This is ground zero and the type you take matters. Forget the amount of fish oil written on the front and look for EPA and DHA on the back. Take enough to get as close to 6 grams as you can for a couple weeks, then taper off a bit depending on your body. The stuff increases peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, which aid in using fat on a molecular level. It also helps rebalance your Omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, which will help lower inflammation within the body
2. Take a multivitamin
Dump the centrum. Search consumer labs.com for a quality multi you can afford. Without enough vitamins and minerals, your body can not function properly, which means no matter how much you exercise, your body won’t use the fat you want it to and you stay fat.
3. Eat meat with every meal
Try to move toward exotic, grass-fed and free range animals like elk, grass-fed beef, kangaroo, buffalo, etc. these meat have far higher levels of Omega 3 and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). CLA will decrease your body’s production of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that makes your body store fat. You can also get CLA in milk and eggs.
Don’t worry about the saturated fat…I’ll write on this later but it’s carb and trans fats that are the real enemy. While saturated fat raises bad cholesterol a little, it raises good cholesterol a LOT.
4. Eat seeds and nuts as a snack
Pumpkin seeds, almonds, pecans and walnuts are some of the best choices around Pumpkin seeds have a tremendously high magnesium count, which is good if you want your sugar absorbers to work well. Yes, they are high fat but the fat is mostly Omega 3 and the snack will make you really satisfied.
5. Eat tons of raw veggies
This is your carb, devour them! You can also cook them lightly in olive or coconut oil but make sure they stay bright…less cooking time equals more nutrients.
6. Drop gluten, all sweets and dairy for two weeks
You may have an allergy and not know it. If you hop back on after two weeks and notice fatigue, swelling, lethargy, itching or bloating and gas, you’re probably allergic or intolerant and it could be slowing your weight loss and killing your body.
7. Sleep 7 to 8 hours a night
No tv or computer right before. Think about melatonin if you can’t sleep.
8. Only eat when you feel hungry and stop when you feel satisfied
Break your emotional attachment to food.
9. If you can’t kill it with a spear or it isn’t bright green, yellow or orange, don’t eat it.

i looked at your diary and went back about a week ... in my personal, unprofessional opinion ... you eat WAY, WAY too many carbs and not nearly enough protein and vegetables. i dont know if you dont have time to cook but you should probably layoff all of that processed food as well because you also get in a lot of excess sodium.
good luck!0 -
