I spent about a year packing on whiskey weight, and I'm totally over it. I've been working out on and off for most of my life, and I've never been this heavy, so I'm a little frustrated with this cut so far. If anyone has feedback, I'd love to hear it!

I've been eating clean and working out 6 days a week for two weeks and I've lost a grand total of... half a pound. I think I might be doing something wrong. My diet for the past two weeks is here. (http://fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=jpreacher) My target has been 1800 calories a day (although that whole first week I only averaged about 1500, largely because I was on vacation and sleeping a LOT). I'm hitting about a 50/25/25 c/f/p macro ratio.

Workout plan:

M/W/F weights (nearly all compund exercises, full body, varying weight and reps)
T/T/S running, following the couch-to-5k plan (just finished week 2 today), abs, stretching.

My lifts has been getting steadily better, so I'm happy about that, although I've been out of the gym long enough it's still pretty much catch-up. The Couch-to-5k plan, at this stage, is basically LIIT - it's structured to build intensity gradually to help accustom the joints to the work, which my knees desperately need.

If anyone has any comments, particularly about diet, they'd be most welcome The fitday link is handy because you can see what I've actually eaten, not just what I plan to eat. I'll be staying in a hotel for the next five days, so I won't be able to make any decent, controlled changes for a bit, but I will be following this thread.

It looks like you have your exercise aspect down, I'm not too familiar with what the caloric aims for a woman should be, but I'm guessing you have that down as well.
Diet wise the main things I would critique are the pasta (not sure what HEB is) since they are made from processed flours and make up a quarter of your calories, and the oatnut bread for the same processed reasons (again not exactly sure what this is, but it could be good as well). Beef jerky, which I sometimes use myself, mostly gets its carbs from sugars also, so that could be suspect.
Are you breaking up your meals into six different portions as well? I ask because the pasta portion also looks like it includes the last 4 items.
An alternative possibility could be that you're putting on muscle weight or retaining water depending on your sodium consumption.

Edit: just took a look over your other days and I see instant oats, white potatos/french fries, ice creams in varying amounts, chocolates, 2x 1k cal cheat meals, bawls (32g sugar in that drink), ?morning star corndogs (questionable I'd argue).

Being that carbs make up more than HALF of your caloric intake, I wouldn't expect to see much fat loss (let alone "weight" loss of any kind) at this point in time.

I'd research/read/re-do the dietary plan of attack for far better results.

As well, I don't understand what cardio you are doing, but I'd recommend DAILY a.m. cardio for 45 mins. at 65-75% of your MHR if you want to shed fat quickly. Of course, your diet HAS to support this, but for pure lipolysis it doesn't get any better than that cardio wise.
