I haven't lost any weight.

Keeping in mind as well the following:
Sleep - and for some, more importantly when, and for how long, can play a role in weight loss. Lack of sleep, and lack of a good sleep time affects the body's ability to lose weight given the effects played on hormones, which can hinder weight loss and metabolism.
Calories in/out isn't always the sacred cow for everyone. In the past, I've stuck to a formula that has guaranteed weight loss - 3x exercise a week, rigid 1950 calories, 2L of water a day, and at least 7 hours of sleep that seems to need to take place at around 10pm.
If I don't stick to a respectable sleep pattern over time, I don't lose weight.
If I don't exercise 3x a week at 1hr or more, I won't lose weight.
Same goes for lack of water as well consistently.
The body is a funny thing - takes time to react and to work things out. However, unless there's an underlying physiological issue, it generally is pretty honest.

I agree with what everyone has said, but the rules of weigh everything and eat less processed food are the most important. Nutrient rich foods will make you feel full. After viewing your diary I would be starving, in fact I have issues with low blood sugar - I'd passed out. Maybe a nutritionist is the way to go (though that can be cost prohibitive).
I agree with this. Heck, I intermittent fast on occasion (for health reasons, not weight loss). I can go a good while without eating. And I'd pass out mid-fast, after eating what you eat, OP. Where's your lettuce? Your fruits? Veggies? Low calorie yogurt? Fish? Eggs? Chicken?
Also, as a rule of thumb, you want to lose no more than 1% of your body weight a week. A six hundred pound man can lose six pounds a week, easy peasy. You? That's no more than 1.28 pounds a week. But, you're so light already. Your TDEE (total daily expenditure) is probably pretty darn close to the 1200 minimum calories a day a woman needs to stay nourished. Which means, at this point, you can probably only safely lose half a pound to a quarter pound a week. Depending on your height.
Given that our bodies like to retain four or more pounds of water for any stupid little reason, and that at any given time you could have a pound of poop or pee in you, any little progress you make could be easily masked ... for weeks. (Then after weeks of waiting patiently, all that weight tends to come off overnight in one big whoosh.)
I also agree with those who say get a food scale. Get one! Measure, weigh everything that goes in your mouth. Every chip. Every cup of milk. Everything. At your weight, you'll have to walk a tight rope to lose weight. A hundred calories over everyday, and you won't lose. A hundred under, and you'll be malnourished and feeling like crap. Also, make every calorie count. Make it be as nourishing as possible. This will give you energy, keep you satiated.

@sponsorrebecca: I am concerned about you; after viewing your diary and reading the all of the helpful comments you have gotten here. You are getting the same advice you got when you posted back in September. Please seek out assistance, off of this site, from professionals if you are struggling with something in addition to weight loss. Hoping you find direction and peace.4

I don't think the if is in question. There is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist. At the very least check out a group session. I have, many others have, many are currently. Your posts and responses raise a few flags.1 -

You moderated calories a bit for a week and are giving up for liposuction? Sorry to hear.5 -
Its because your eating crap and not exercising enough lol7

Get and use a food scale, add some exercise to your routine, and good grief, please eat some real food. It's a whole lot easier to be satisfied on 1200 calories of fresh fruits and veggies and meats and dairy and such than it is to maintain a deficit where you're starving yourself of any sort of nutrition in favor of only eating cookies, chips, and salad dressing. There's no reason you can't have an occasional treat, but you're not doing your body any favors if you're truly only eating the things you've been logging.3

Your diary is a joke and your food choices are horrendous. Ranch dressing, pizza, Cheetos, cocoa....you have got to be joking.2
-
Ok, I admit it. I had to look for myself. I understand that losing weight can be frustrating and complicated so I'll leave a few tips that I've learned over the years……
1. Ranch dressing is not a meal.
2…… Actually, no. If you can master that one, you'll do great.
Good luck with your modelling career. I have no doubt that fame and fortune is within reach!6 -
How are you all seeing her diary? When I went to look, it is listed as private.0
-
Damn man, pretty harsh up in this joint, but I will say with all due respect, if what others say is true, you need to be creating a caloric deficit through proper food choices (whole and unprocessed) and exercise. 128lbs is pretty lean, not sure where you're going with that but change your diet to be in line with that of healthy choices and you will achieve success.3

It's good to keep log of your calories to make sure you are getting the healthy amount of food with your thyroid problem. Also ask the thyroid doctor about it.1

Hey I sent you a message. Most of the time is best not to go by what MFP tells you to do for calories and macros. Talk to a nutritionist who can best create the plan that fits your body for results.5
-
When I first started using the MFP, it told me to eat 1400 cal to lose 2lbs per week. I didn't lose anything and I was always tired and hungry. Ended up just gaining weight. Just please talk to a nutritionist. After you get the calories you need and the macros, you can plug those numbers in MFP to help you track them. 6 -
Also, what in the world is going on with your meals? You aren't even eating healthy foods, or dividing your calories to multiple meals. Eating two bags of chips for a total of 1500cals is not a meal. Hot chocolate is also not a meal. At this point I can't tell if you are trolling or sincerely want some help.2

for the record - you don't actually need to eat healthy to lose weight, calories are king. it can just be harder to get enough food with calorie dense foods to feel full. and general nutrition may be hard to obtain which can help you feel better overall (but not lose weight - i gained a TON eating "healthy").3

You're not even eating real food!!! Your diet is devoid of fruits, vegetables, and protein! Rather than paying for liposuction maybe you should consider spending that money on a trip to a doctor to get your thyroid under control, and then maybe consider spending a little on a consult with a registered dietitian.
Also--if you claim to burn 100+ calories for 6 minutes on the stationary bike and then proceed to eat back all of those calories, you are going to have a bad time.2 -

You should probably check your macros xD. Macros change the game, and yes she needs to eat healthy. Whats the point of losing weight if you are still feeling like an elephant who can't climb stairs.

i didn't say it was a good idea. just that you can lose weight without eating "well" as long as you ate at a calorie deficit.

Yes.....its called anorexia17 -
This is why I feel that many other threads on mfp are misleading. Many people reiterate that you can eat whatever you want, as long as you maintain your calorie deficit.
But for people like this poster who are already at a low weight, she will not be able to sustain herself on chips and ranch dressing. A 750 calorie bag of chips wont fit into a 1500 calorie a day meal plan realistically because it allows little other real food. I tried to say this once and people got upset.
I dont think she is paying attention at this point though.6 -

You’re right, and I believe that giving that sort of irresponsible advice to someone that doesn’t know any better could potentially be harmful.6
