Don't worry! It's probably just a fluctuation! Definitely wait for more results! 

Keep doing what you're doing, and drinking lots of water! :) 

(Probably not fat related) 

Do you feel like you're retaining fluid? I notice that you're taking in a lot of sodium. That always seems to get to me. I know it can feel really frustrating to be careful and then end up with a gain ;-( 

Make sure that you are eating enough, trust me you can have weight loss stalls and even gains if your body is fighting you every step of the way. There are a lot of reasons for fluctuations, if you have recently begun being more active you can retain fluids due to muscle growth and healing. If you are eating well, moving more, and doing everything right then you just need to trust the process and be patient. It can be frustrating, but it will be worth it. Good luck!! 

maybe you aren't eating enough, your body could be rebelling against this VLCD.  

Maybe your body is to acidic. I had a similar problem: I ate healthy and did lots of sports but my weight rose because I gained muscle and kept on the fat. Try taking supplements to alcalify you body. Acid blocks the fat cells. 

3 things to try. ALWAYS eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, NEVER eat within 4 hours of going to sleep, and always get at least 8 hours of sleep. 

Looking at your food diary I can tell you for sure that some of it is water weight. I looked and your sodium intake and it is over 6,000mg on all the days I click. That is waaaaayyyyy beyond what should be eaten. I love cheese and even I stay belore 4,000. You have to figure out what is getting you up that high and cut it practically in half. And down the water to help you lose the water weight when you make that change. That will drops some pounds right there alone. Then fill up on other things that aren't so high in sodium throughout the day to ensure you have enough food in you to avoid your body thinking that you are starving itself. 1400 or so calories a day sounds quite reasonable to me. With 30+ minutes of exercise a day and you are back on the right track!!!! Trust me! 

Cabbage soup, yecch! You need more variety, different veggies and fruits. Drink lots of water, too. 

I also agree with Lovergirl654. My sodium tends to be about 2000 to 2500 mg usually. It makes a huge difference. 

Agree with others. Lessen the sodium (no more than 2500mg/day -- a good start is no prepackaged foods, sauces, etc). If you want it...then make/bake it -- that also burns more calories. Even "low-fat" yogurt is likely high in sugar or sodium or has some type of false sugar additive that your body does not know how to handle. I've learned it's not just about calories, but the spread of those calories (protein|fat|carb|sodium|etc). And, yes, water's got to be your beverage of choice (even when you don't want it to be). Try drinking 8oz before you eat and 8oz after. Three times a day puts you at 6 glasses, easy, peasy! An 8oz glass is a LOT smaller than the size containers most of us drink from! Good luck, Roe! 

Go read about metabolic adaptation. I haven't looked at your plan but if your taking in calories wayyyyy below as you said, you are not eating enough and will drive your metabolic processes into a place where you won't lose any fat rather you will be sacrificing your lean mass which is your calorie burner. Many believe all you need to do is decrease calories and work out. It is much more of a science than that I'm afraid. Using this calorie counter is a great tool but you must know what your target macronutrients are for your current weight and activity. From there they are adjusted SLOWLY. If you are able try Precision Nutrition for sound, scientifically backed nutrition coaching. Dieting should be flexible otherwise you will become micronutrient deficient and make fat burning (and other bodily processes) even more difficult or inefficient. If you do not wish to pay for nutrition coaching go to IIFYM website, sign up and use their calculator to calculate your target macronutrients. Read the forums. Then use fat secret to plan your meals to hit your macro targets. Life will be so much easier and dieting will eventually be more sane and enjoyable. I m a fitness competitor and I am a nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I have learned a lot of the past two years mostly of a llllllll the bad advice that is out there. Everyone, no matter what wants the same thing...to lose fat and look better, maintain/preserve their current ( or even grow) lean mass, improve activity performance ( no matter whether they are a couch potato or an elite athlete). It would be really helpful if you could get a reading on a BODY COMPOSITION scale. This will break down the reading of your total weight into lean mass, fat mass, water, etc. It is best to use this type of scale to track your progress. ANYTIME the scale shows you losing muscle mass, something is not being done correctly. My mission is to help people do this the correct way one that's sound, scientifically backed, one that allows you freedom to be normal!!! No extremes, they don't work. They make you rebound tremendously and the method is not sustainable. I hope this helps.  

Make sure you are drinking enough water. Feel like you're constantly drinking water = you're doing it right lol. There are water intake tracking apps for free on iTunes and for Android. They really help. You should be drinking at least an ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight. 

ShamSimons is very right about metabolism. Too few calories spread around too few nutrient dense foods is cataclysmic on weight (stored fat) loss. You are making life changes for the long haul...not 'dieting'. Reading/research AND www.iifym.com was a God-send for me to start figuring things out (thanks, Puhpine). 

Your calorie intake looks pretty good. You may want to bring carb # down a bit. It doesn't look too bad because many of your carbs are from cabbage. You may be retaining water. Don't weight in daily, try for weekly body weight fluctuates.  

be careful with the cabbage soup Diet , I tried it did lose weight but after a month it came out of my pores for 6 months and could not eat cooked cabbage for yrs cause it came out my pores again ! just thought i let you know!  

Could be water and bloating from salt and cabbage. I just dropped 1.2kg overnight of water weight and bloating. Maybe it was just a bad day for weighing and in a few days the scales will show your actual weight minus the water weight. 

I dont know!! but a few members have been just so amazing and gave me some suggestions and I thank you all for your comments! I am on lasix becuase of my health so I don't retain water anymore, and this week I ate more than i did and lost 3 lbs GO FIGURE lolol 

Keep thinking 'NUTRITION'- You can't build anything (neither house, car nor a healthy body) without raw materials. Best to you, Roe!
