How accurate is your logging? Are you using your food scale for ALL solids? Measuring cups/spoons for ALL liquids? Using accurate entries? Using the recipe builder? Are you eating back all your exercise calories (400-500 for only an hour would be extremely high for me but I don't know your stats)? Do you log every single thing that passes your lips?

How much weight do you have to lose?

This does sound like a logging issue -- that is, you're probably eating more than you think you are. If you open your diary, we may be able to help.

Do you weigh your food with scales?

An hour of cardio and I only burn about 320-350 calories, and that's jogging. Strength training doesn't burn many calories at all. I wouldn't log it as a calorie burn.

Open your diary. You're probably eating more than you realize. Also- how much weight are you trying to lose?
