    How does MFP work? For me:

    1. Eat clean
    2. Meet your calorie goals, don't fall below them
    3. Set your goals to lose 1lb/week unless otherwise advised by a doctor
    4. Log every bite--if you are tasting during cooking chew gum or just log each taste.
    5. Keep your routine varied, try something new: Zumba, martial arts, body combat, Tai Chi, power yoga...keep your body confused and your mind from getting bored.

    Your weight can vary by large amounts from day to day. A week is not long enough to determine if the plan is going to work. Give it about a month or so and don't drive yourself crazy over daily fluctuations.

    A week and a half is not necessarily long enough to tell if what you are doing is working or not. As long as you are logging everything as accurately as you can, you should definitely lose weight with what you are doing. I say stick with it a while longer, but if you stay stalled, take another look at your log. Are you making sure that you are recording all of your calories? Weighing your food? MFP can overestimate calories burned through exercise so that could be another thing to look at. Good luck! Whatever you do, don't give up!
