I wish this "eating more" thing would work out indefinitely.

That's because you're not eating anywhere close to enough and your diet is horrible

I weight 110 and I'm 5'6 and I eat over 1700 calories a day.

You have to calculate your BMR and don't go by what MFP says because they're calculations aren't always accurate.

When you deprive yourself of food, your body thinks you're starving yourself so it stores a lot of the food you eat as fat. I used to only eat 1200 cals a day, and my weight stayed the same and I wasn't seeing any results, once I started eating more I drastically dropped body fat and gained muscle.

You also have to be eating the right maco's, keep it around 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. I looked at your diary and your diet is.... not the greatest, no wonder you're not loosing weight. You should be eating over 120 grams of protein a day... you eat no meat, fruit/vegetables and everything else is processed, chocolate, cereal, jello? There's your answer.

Oh ya and stop doing steady state cardio, because your body just burns carbs and muscle, not fat. Either do HIIT and start lifting weights. Give it time, it takes a while to start seeing results, but you need to start eating better or you won't be seeing results anytime soon.

Do they even still teach reading comprehension?

ETA: Great Job OP!!

Wait, what? I am seeing results. I lost 2 lbs. this week. O.o Not to mention the other 31 I've lost.

You could do 20 minutes of HIIT Training and get better results than an hour of straight cardio.

I ENJOY walking. I do NOT enjoy gym exercises. Guess which one I'll stick with? I work a 9-5, am single, and have no children. What's an extra half-hour sacrificed to do something that helps me de-stress and gets the heart rate going at the same time? Why should I "save" an extra half-hour when I'm dreading the activity coming up, even if it is more "efficient"?

I mean, seriously. Buzzkill.

Agree! I incorporate strength training, but in the long haul, I wanted to find an exercise that I will enjoy the rest of my life, so I personally chose running. I workout at home, not the gym, and I don't want to be stuck doing DVD's and certain routines for the rest of my life. (maybe here and there though). When I have the time, I double the workout or go on a longer run, with a time crunch, I will do HIIT or something that will get me sweating faster.

Good job on your loss OP.

One can do steady state cardio in the gym, or out of it. One can do HIIT training in the gym, or out of it. Hating the gym has nothing to do with it.
