    Are you logging in everything? Are you weighing your food? It's great to eat more healthy foods, but it won't do you any good if you are eating too much of it.

    can you be more specific about what and how much you're eating? are you weighing yourself at the same time each day?

    It's hard to say what you need to do without being able to see what exactly you are eating. Log your food and measure it out. You could be eating more than you realize??

    I just looked at your diary. You aren't logging anything. It's hard to lose weight when you have no idea how many calories you are eating or burning.

    Log your food. I guarantee that you think you're doing fine, but you're really not.

    I never gave much thought to calorie counting and portion sizes. I just figured if you ate healthy foods that was enough.

    Boy was I ever wrong.

    Now I'm eating healthy foods in the proper sizes, getting regular exercise, and drinking plenty of water.

    What a difference!

    You aren't keeping a diary. There's no way to know how many calories you are eating if you don't log your food. That's the whole point of MFP.

    Measure your food and keep track of it. It's very easy to eat too much when you aren't paying attention. You can gain weight eating healthy food.

    Are you logging your food here? If not, you need to start. Log EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth. You may be surprised to see that you are way overeating, undereating or simply consuming a lot of higher calorie, higher sodium foods. Too much processed food can make you retain water and will make the scale not move. And while walking is great exercise, make sure you are pushing yourself hard enough that you're getting your heart rate up.

    Good job on changing your diet. What do you drink instead of soda? Fruit juices and juice drinks can have as much if not more sugar in them than soda. Try to drink more water and make sure you're measuring everything.

    I agree with this post. Also, it's great that you're walking four times a week, but what are you doing the other three days? Had a doctor tell a friend they had to get out and get moving 6-7 days a week. Plus if you can hold a conversation while you walk, you're going too slow. Hope this helps :)

    It's not so much WHAT you eat, but how much of it. You could eat nothing but apples and lettuce and get really fat if you eat too much of it.

    Or you can eat chocolate, fries, etc, and lose weight if you eat the right portions.

    Seriously - start logging! You'll probably be in for a bit of a surprise at how many calories you are eating. I was!

    Exactly. If you aren't losing weight it's because you're consuming more calories than you're burning. If you don't track your food/drink intake you're shooting in the dark.

    It doesn't look like you are logging your food, so are you potentially eating over your calories?

    Lean proteins, fresh fruits & veggies! Stay away from processed as much as possible. Exercise at least 30 min a day. It's very unmotivating to work so hard and not see the weight come off so kuddos to you for sticking to it! Don't forget to measure too! Sometimes weight doesn't come off but the inches do!! And yes, count your cals and portion sizes. ;)

    I looked at your page and you don' have anything logged in your diary. Are you estimating your daily calories and proportions? Before I joined MFP I would do this and think that I was being fairly accurate. It was eye opening when I starting to meticulously log my foods in the dairy daily!!!!! My advice would be to log everything down to that last tic tac so you can see what your calories in are versus calories going out. Only a creating that calorie deficit will allow you to start to loose.

    The first step to getting help is to help yourself. We are a support system, but the site is the resource. Why aren't you using it appropriately??? And honestly, if you're only eating commercially packaged chicken and turkey, then you are probably getting too much sodium AND if you're not logging then you are probably not measuring or even contemplating real portions.

    Nothing we can do here until you do your part.
