Well let's see :) you seem to be doing well with total calories and exercise, but your diet seems to be quite high in sugar and low in protein. With all the exercise you're doing, I would try to get at least 25% of your calories from protein. Then I would reduce the sweetness. You can ween yourself off the sugar and actually change your taste preferences eventually. Instead of sugar, try to get your carbs from whole grains and veggies. I try to limit my sugars to fruits only. Occasionally, I have a sweet treat, but rarely. That's about all I can think of. I'm sure you will find your way just don't give up. Do you feel different or are your clothes looser? 

Here's some quick easy ways to get increased protein into your diet. And I do agree, getting increased protein helps your muscles benefit more from your workouts, which means those muscles can then burn more calories even after the workout is done. For breakfast, consider Kashi Go Lean cereal, it has 13 gm of protein per a 1 cup serving. At lunch time, make some tuna salad, so you can use reduced fat mayo. Tons of protein there. At nighttime, if I still need a protein booster, I keep fat free cottage cheese around. I mix in some sugar free jelly and yum. Also, roasted/salted soy nuts are a great salty snack that gets some protein in (certainly more than potato chips). Good luck! 

Thank you both! I am starting fresh today! lower sugar! More protien! Thank you thank you!
