A couple of queries (not criticisms!)
1: for your healthy extras and syns are you measuring and weighing each time or guestimating? I've guessed before and the amount crept up, I only noticed when I remeasured everything again.
2: is that much exercise still quite new? It can cause a false gain in the first few weeks.
3: you don't seem to be eating very much, I only have two days to judge from here, and maybe I am just a pig (i am), but eating too little can slow down losses too.

I would say you are not eating enough looking at what you have put. I have 5-7 meals a day at the minute, not all big meals but i do spread mine out over the whole day now.
A typical day i might have
6:45am Porridge (made with water) milled flaxseed, cinnamon, raspberries and blueberries
10am 170ml 0%total greek yogurt, raspberries and blueberries
12:45pm big tub of home made chilli con carne with 50g wholemeal basmati rice.
5pm Turkey, brocolli and sugar snaps and a big bowl of lettuce,toms,cucumber,spring onions,pickled red cabbege and 150g low fat cottage cheese
9:30pm protein shake (after the gym)
10pm 3 cheese scones (recipe is 3 med eggs, 300g low fat cottage cheese and 100g instant mash all mixed together then add whatever veg and seasoning you want. i have red onion and jalapenos peppers in mine salt,pepper and smokey paprika and cook in a oven on 180 for 25-30 minutes and it makes 6 scones)
10:45pm 4 dark rye ryvitas with 2 laughing cow extra light triangles spread on them.
11pm highlights hot choc with skimmed milk.

well thats more or less what im having this week. I am 15st though haha and trying to maintain so its all a bit of a guessing game for me at the minute. but you defo need to eat more.

And yes i do eat that late at night and still lose weight, i think its a bit of myth that you shouldnt eat late at night. So long as you dont eat to heavy or have a massive meal it should not make a difference.

Thanks for your input. Yes I am counting my syns and exercise is not that new. I tend to fluctuate on my exercise depending on how late I have to work and if there is somethinf more fun to do than the gym, the gym goes out the window!!

Today: Green Day:

Breakfast - Fat Free Yogurt with Banana
Snack - (HEB) bar. The american equivalent as I am now in the US.
Lunch: Big helping of whole grain pasta with tomato sauce and melted cheese (HEA). Apple.
Afternoons Snack: 4 dark rye ryvita (HEB) and marmite.
Dinner: Think I am going out but will either be pasta based or jacket potato based.

Drinks: tea, coffee, water, sprite zero.

Syns: any hidden in the dinner tonight and 2 wethers sugar free candies.

May start upping the food content a little more on the red days then. I never go hungry and my portions at meal times are of a good size. I ahve to eat every couple of hours on something or I cheat!!!!

if you increase the superfree foods rather than free foods. I know people say it is just a recommendation, but even on red or green days I still have one third my plate superfree. It does boost things along.

Had a cheeky little browny last night Very bad. But had no other syns during the day other than the 2 small candies. So if 1inch square brownie comes under 15 syns then I am still good to go.
