Default Any Tips for SLOW losses?

Hi all -- I need your experienced suggestions. I've been following CKD for 8 weeks now. I realize that this is not a very long time, but regardless, my progress has been SO SLOW and very MINIMAL. Granted, I'm relatively small to begin with, but I am light years from being super lean. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? I'm very strict about my diet, no cheats ever, and have relatively clean 24 hour carb ups. I lift as heavy as I can to failure. My cardio is long and slow like a brisk walk on the treadmill, or walking the escalator stairs. Here's is my week:

Saturday: carb up. Mostly cereals, pasta, fruit, the occassional cupcake.
Sunday: lift Upper body empty stomach plus 30-40 min cardio (this gets me into ketosis the fastest)
Monday: lift Lower body empty stomach plus 30-40 min cardio
Tues: 45 min cardio
Wed: am abs class 30 min, 45 min cardio later
Thur: off
Frid: am abs class sometimes depletion workout/cardio later (if I have the strength)

This is my fitday just to show a sample of my foods. Most days are NOT complete, I generally forget to log dinner. But as long as I know where I am by dinner I can judge my appropriate meal accordingly. http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Public...l?Owner=amyella
I eat between 1300-1500 calories a day, 65%-70% fat, 25-30% protein. I'm 5'1" and approx 110 pounds and 15% bodyfat (hard to say, I can't find anyone who can do a decent 7 site measurement). I have pics of my progress, but I'm too embarrassed to post them. If you think it will help to judge if my progress is normal (maybe I'm just too impatient?) I'd email them.

I drink tons of water. I just can't figure out what I need to tweak to get there? It's so frustrating! Should I eliminate nuts? All dairy (I eat a minimal amount of cheese and occassionally some cream if I need to up my fat) but that's it. I just don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my long post!
