I want to cut it off with a blade

There is a lot of good advice you got from this posting, good job OP. There are a lot of regular MFP's in this thread that know what they are talking about too, I've stalked them for a long time

So you should come away from this with more insight or more help or a changed mind that maybe, just maybe: "You didn't try everything RIGHT".

You aren't tracking your meals unless you are truly going weeks at a time without eating.
I saw several days where there was ice cream and cookies during breakfast time.
Burning 150-250 exercise calories sporadically during the week probably isn't enough unless you are just starting out in the obesity category and working your way up.

You have maybe tried everything for one day.
But you haven't tried anything RIGHT, and have done it RIGHT for a long time.

Try again this time and try to do it right!
Friend people on here who have had successes and are at their goal weight and can walk you through it.

...Blade?...(shaking head)...

I really appreciate the helpful answers. As for the useless ones don't bother commenting.
And I guess it would seem easy to say eat healthier, but I live on a college campus. And for those of you who haven't had the chance to attend/live on a college campus, the food is very unhealthy hence the freshman 15. It exists and I still have never gotten those 15 pounds off, even after almost 4 years.
So my question to all you weight loss experts: What kind of unhealthy food is the healthiest?
My campus is chock full of candy, chocolate, ice cream, pizza and cheeseburgers. How am I supposed to lose weight?

I went to a major unversity and there was always a healthier option than grade d meat, lol. Look for stuff like chicken, salds, turkey, ham. If uou have a burger then you should go cheeseless. Also look at buying oatmeal or kashi for breakfast and stay away from sweets like cookies and ice cream.

I have pizza (typically half of a DiGiorno rising crust) at least once a week. You can still have pizza and burgers... you just have to make sure it fits within your calories and macro ranges. And be aware that if it's processed food (just about anything frozen and microwavable), it's going to have a lot of sodium which sometimes makes you retain fluid and appear to not be losing weight. And I've found that those healthy frozen dinners are tiny for the number of calories. Make your own, and you can eat twice as much in volume for the same c

For breakfast, I love Fiber One cereals. I might not love it so much if I had to sit in class after, because it can make one gassy. I also like English muffins with Nutella. Gives me a chocolate fix to start the day. Peanut butter on them is good, too. Look for one with no salt added. It tastes the same as regular PB! Nutella *and* Peanut butter is like having a Reese's cup!

For lunch and dinner, I aim for a large-ish portion of meat (usually chicken, fish or shrimp), veggies (usually frozen, since it's most cost effective for the greatest variety... I liked the mixed bags), and a carb, like rice or pasta, sometimes garlic bread because it makes me very happy, and non one wants to be around me when I feel deprived.

Snacks are usually Fiber One or Fiber Plus bars, fruit, yogurt, or sometimes an ice cream sandwich. One sandwich is about 150 calories, and it psychologically feels better to eat one entire sandwich than look at a teeny tiny scoop of ice cream in a bowl or cup. I also like having a glass of chocolate milk at bedtime. Again, about 150 calories, fills you up so you don't go to bed hungry, and tastes like dessert.
