Increase your carbs to 20 grams (approximately 180 calories). You want to aim for 5% of your calories in carbs, 70% of your calories in fat and the remainder in protein. If you don't eat enough, your body will try to hang on to the weight to protect itself.

Also, eat as little processed food as you can. I do eat some processed foods, but I lose weight quicker when I don't. I can't tell from the public version of your fitday, but how much sodium are you taking in? I would guess that it's higher than normal and you are retaining water.

Also, are you exercising? If you just started exercising, it can take up to 6 weeks before you start losing weight regularly again. During those 6 weeks you are building muscle. So take some measurements to see if you are losing inches. And if you aren't yet exercising... start. This weight loss works much better when you exercise and you get healthier to boot!

Good luck!
