We'd need more info. Height, weight, goal weight, what your goals are (aka, how much you have set to lose per week). Opening your diary will also help to pin point errors you may be making in logging.0

what she said ^^^
it will most probably be logging issues0 -
Height: 160cm. Weight : 58.3 Kg ,127lb
I need to lose 8 kilos and go back to my regular weight which is 50kg . It's set to lose 0.5 per week0 -
do you use a food scale to weight all solid foods?0
-
No unfortunately i don't have one0

Seems to me you are set accurately. Are you eating all the calories you are given? You are already in range of a healthy weight so it will take longer than you think it will to get back to 50kg. Like the above posters question, do you weight all your solid foods? You may be eating more than you think.
It it would still really help if you'd make your diary public.
How long have you been at this with no scale change?0 -

truth
make sure you weight solids and measure liquids when you log
how do you estimate exercise calories and do you eat them back?
you loss rate sounds like a good choice for your goal
the "really tired" bit does not sound good, do you get enough sleep and drink plenty of water?

i would highly recommend getting a food scale and use it to weight all solids and as many liquids as possible. If you are eyeballing portions then you are probably underestimating calories by anywhere from 20 to 50%….
so get a food scale, and weight log/measure everything for two weeks and see what happens….0 -
If you don't have a scale, get one, pronto. Best kitchen investment ever.
Weigh everything - be accurate - for 2 weeks, then weigh yourself. I swear you'll be surprised!0 -
How long have you been at this with no scale change?[/quote] , mmmmm i'd say about

I think if you'r e not weighing it's almost certain you're eating more than you think
get a cheap digital scale - they're about 10 - 15 - get one you can zero and put plates / pans on
it's a revelation checking portion sizes

Yup. Get a food scale. They aren't expensive. You're a shortie like me and don't have much left to lose. The margin of error when even measuring portions in cups vs. weighing on a scale can make ALL the difference when it comes to a deficit. The discrepancy when it comes down to eyeballing is even greater.
Also? Make sure the scale is digital. I started out on here with an analog scale, but my rate of loss picked up once I got a digital scale that weighed in grams.0 -

You are eating at your maintenance calories. You need a food scale.0

how do you estimate exercise calories and do you eat them back?
Sometimes i eat them back, the iPhone is set to track my steps .
the "really tired" bit does not sound good, do you get enough sleep and drink plenty of water?

Yeah i drink lots of water 2 to 3 bottles a days0 -
Any suggestions what kind of food scale ? Is there a specific brand ?0
-
If you're not weighing your food, you have no idea how much you're really eating. Unfortunately, you're not in a deficit.0

I got my scale at Aldi and I've had it for years. About $10. Amazon is a good place to go too. Go for a digital one...you don't need anything more than something you can "tare" and that has ounces/grams options.
Being on the low end of the height scale, you don't have much room for error. I don't believe this is something that has to do with your exercise, it has something to do with your portion sizes.
Do what we are suggesting for 2 weeks. If it doesn't work, come back and we'll try to figure out something else. Good luck!

On the recommendation from people here, I bought the Ozeri Pronto Digital Kitchen Scale through Amazon. Very user friendly and accurate. I'd highly recommend it.
