Your logging seems pretty poor... how did you measure 0.13 cups of cheese? How is it that every time you eat a piece of chicken it weighs exactly 200g?

Using cups to measure is probably doing you a huge disservice.

Try weighing your food, all of it, on a digital scale in grams. It is quicker than trying to get stuff in measuring cup and you don't have to wash all those cups afterwards.

Are you logging everything you eat/drink? How do you determine how much you're eating? Do you eat back your exercise calories, and if so how much? How do you determine how much you're burning?

I am using a wet measuring cups for all liquids and dry measuring cup for all solids. I often weigh my meals to scale. I opened my diary to view my logs. I am logging everything.I only mainly drink water or freshly brewed unsweetened loose teas.

Also what is a "wet measuring cup" versus a "dry measuring cup"?
A cup is a unit of measurement for volume. There is no such thing as a "wet" or "dry" cup. A cup is always 250ml which is why it's only accurate for liquids.

There are two types of measuring cups.. One for soilds ( or flour when baking something )
Other that is for liquids.

But I seem to be gaining weight faster than ever! From May 2 to June 2 I gained 10 pounds. What is going on? Help me please!!?!!

In order to do that, you would have to be consuming more than you burn.

The usual tips:
-- estimate really low on the calories you're burning with exercise.
-- weigh everything.
-- be meticulously accurate about logging everything, even the half a muffin you share with a co-worker at morning tea (not saying that's the case, just giving an example).

Question 1 ... do you drink alcohol?

Question 2 ... you don't have anything recorded for the period between May 2 to June 2. Has your diet changed since then and have you lost weight since then?

I do log everything .. Down to the last cal.
It may be that I need to scale everything.
I don't drink. Haven't had a single alcoholic beverage since Christmas maybe. The reason why there is no log for June and may is BC I wasn't counting calories. I just started up at the end of June BC of the crazy weight gain in may-june.
