    No I am not due a period and I never gain any weight during my period for some reason.

    I think maybe I should up my cals to 1500 . Do people think that 1500 for a weight of 15st 7 is sufficient enough?

    I just dont understand the point ine xercising to loose weight if your going to eat back the calories you burned at the gym anyway :/ Sorry its just got me so confused.

    Beside all health benifit of exercise, exercising will allow you to eat more on your weight loss journy. The number MFP gives you has a deficit in it already, when you exercise you make that deficit larger, so MFP gives you back calories to eat so you can stay within a healthy deficit.

    Your logging is really patchy. I would start weighing your food and logging as accurately as possible. Also, water weight can make the scale fluctuate a lot - you need to look at longer term trends.
