Cut out the processed sugars (digestives with chocolate) and have blueberries instead.

Don't eat potatoes or rice - try brown rice and/or wild rice (I like the two mixed together) or yams (sweet potatoes) instead.

If you have it available, try spelt bread for your toast.  Change your jam to honey and no butter.

You may be surprised at how these small changes may make a big difference.

Good Luck!

You aren't doing anything wrong.  More than likely you have gained some muscle that could explain your weight gain.  Just keep it up be patient and the weight will start to slide off.  Here's another thing you might try. I always get discouraged when the scale doesn't read what I want it to so do this, go to the store and by a pair of thermometer jeans.  Go down two sizes from where you currently are and try them on.  Now at first you might not be able to fit in them you may not even be able to get them over your thighs but stick with what you are doing and instead of running to the scale every week try your thermometer jeans on.  This works wonders with self confidence.  I did this and at first couldn't even get mine over my thighs but now they are up and buttoned but are to snug for me to wear out in public.  But this just let's you know that your body is changing and transforming even if the scale say's that you aren't.  So go out today and by you some thermometer jeans!

Do away with the following:

Rice, Potatoes, and Pasta.  Starchy foods are bad for you when you are trying to lose weight.  You might want to do a salad for lunch and add turkey if you wish, but do not use turkey that is honey roasted.  The honey is also bad.

If you've been working out a lot then it could be muscle. Does your body feel slimmer and more toned? If so, then you've probably lost fat and gained muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so that's why you've gained weight!
