    How many calories? How are you counting them? Are the entries you are choosing correct (many are not)?

    Your profile says 33. That's going to give you incorrect calorie targets.

    How long have you been logging? Do you log your exercise? Do you eat those exercise calories?

    I'm guessing you picked 2lbs per week to lose, that's too aggressive for what you have to lose, pick 1lb per week. Accept you're not going to drop 10lbs overnight.

    Sometimes It's not The calories that you are eating that is the Issue, it can be the Types of foods. For instance you can eat a WHOLE lot more shrimp, fish etc cooked on a grill and it will help you lose wt, compared to the same amount of calories in a sandwich heavy bread type. Just saying you have to look at the What you are eating too.

    - get a digital food scale. Attempt to Weigh EVERYTHING
    - cross check information from the MFP database and the nutritional information on the package, or a reputable source
    - only eat back 70% -50% of calories from workouts. MFP tends to overestimate calorie burns
    Best of luck!
