Welcome back, Jacquie

Are you taking any medications now? Even some OTC interfere with weight loss, SSRI do. Some others:

Are you only eating when hungry? The benefit of being in ketosis is that hunger is reduced, so you may be able to eat within a reduced time period. IF is something to consider adding that may help if weight loss is slow.

And sad to say, the wine should go if you want to lose weight. Not only is it 3-4g carbs and an extra 125 calories, but as Blue Ruby explained oxidative priority, that alcohol is burned first before fat and keeping you from ketosis. DietDoctor's two week challenge is based on Dr Westman's clinic Diet which reads, "ALCOHOL: At first, avoid alcohol consumption on this diet. At a later point in time, as weight loss and dietary patterns become well established, alcohol in moderate quantities, if low in carbohydrates, may be added back into the diet". Avoid means none until you are well along, not just in ketosis, but an established fat-burner.

Dr Eades has other reasons why LC is "harder" the second time around https://proteinpower.com/drmike/201...w-carb-dieters/ , the most common is "forgetting" the induction rules and adding in LC extras from later in the plans, like the wine.

Your meals look good! DietDoctor recently added more Keto Guides and recipes to help create simple meal plans to keep on track. That website is a wealth of information.
All the best,
