So, there are a few problems I see in your diet.
1.) Low fat salad dressing is generally a bad thing. You should add olive oil, butter, or some natural fat source any time you eat vegetables because you can't absorb many of the vitamins in greens without some type of fat in the meal.
2.) Regardless of what many people believe, "Whole grains" are really not that great. The bran of many grains adds nutrients, but when you look at the actual bioavailability of those nutrients it's very low due to things like phytic acid. It adds fiber, but it's mostly insoluble fiber which doesn't have all of the benefits of soluble fiber.
This effectively makes whole grains "empty calories". They aren't completely empty, but there is a low nutrient to calorie ratio, and that's what you need to improve. Meat and vegetables have much higher nutrients compared to calories.
Eliminate grains and sugary items (especially fructose) and eat 'real' foods (veggies, meats, and natural coconut, olive, or animal fats), and you will lose weight without starving yourself or counting calories.
