Your logging is all over the shop. Might want to look into tightening that up.

Hey , sorry what do you mean by that? English is not my first language.

I mean your logging is all over the place. You have things logged as "slices" "1 medium" stuff like that. Super inaccurate. Try weighing everything on a food scale and logging that instead.

Make sure you weigh empty stomach empty bladder naked no jewellery (at least not heavy pieces). It also depends if you are a woman (which im assuming) where you are in your cycle. A lot of it is water I'm sure. Make sure you are measuring food such as nuts, cheese etc. And logging everything even sugar free drinks etc.

I started my weight loss journey 2 weeks ago, So this is my 15 day landmark , I expected to lose at least one pound if not more, and I weighed myself to actually gain 10 whooping pounds?? How did that happen. I workout 3 time or more in a week, I log my calories everyday. This is very depressing

Feel your pain, I do. After a large weight loss for the first two weeks I woke up today(day 15) and the scale tells me I've actually gained weight. WTF

It's probably water weight or something.

probably not in the case of the op due to length of time, but if you went down a lot and thenup a bit have you measured yourself?
muscle is denser than fat so often people go up a little in the begining or dip then go up when theyve built muscle and the weight aspect usually evens out in a week u always weigh and measure

I took a quick peek at your diary and you are logging but may not be picking the best options. For example I saw one item that was just Banana - 1 banana. If you weigh the banana and then find a banana option that has weights as an option (grams are best) then you can put in the weight of the banana, I find a good way to find them is to look for the USDA version - those usually give an option to add weight in grams - if it is 100 gram option and the banana weighs 124 grams when you way it, enter it as 1.24 servings to get a more accurate count.

If your scale is digital, check that the batteries are fresh. Also, given that you put the scale away every day and pull it out again--try to put it in the exact same spot, on a hard (tile or wood) floor (not carpet). Weigh yourself, move the scale a few inches, weigh again--just to see that the readings are consistent. I usually weigh 3 separate consecutive times just to be certain.

I'd recommend that you measure your body fat percentage. Some digital scales show you how much you gained muscles and lost fat percentage. If you're working out you maybe gaining muscles which is what you should look forward. Dieting isn't supposed to mean "starving". If you starve yourself, your metabolism will slow down and your body will keep the body fat as an emergency mode. Do cardio only couple of days a week, weight lifting is the way to go. Weight lifting increases your metabolism and muscles. Avoid high sugary fruits that contain a lot of carbs. Eat green vegetables that grow above the ground. Eat products that contain a lot of protein. Avoid artificial sweeteners or products that have a "diet" label on them. At this stage, you should lower your carbs at any cost. Hope it helps.
I have started my journey about the same time you did, lost 5% body fat and gained muscles.

Accurately count your calories and my advice to everyone is don't eat your workout calories. You'll find a number that works for you eventually, stick with it. Then after that stop's working so well you will need to think about macronutrients
