    If you open your diary we might be able to see what's going on here.

    OH wow.

    Ok open your diary as stated. Really try just setting your MFP weight loss goal to lose 0.5 lbs a week (just to try). Most people set it to 2lbs a week which isn't really ideal unless you are losing over 100lbs.

    Click "Settings" at the top of the page, then "Diary Settings". You want to change it to "Public" at least while this topic is active.
