    1. Slow down and relax, this isn't 'The Biggest Loser'
    2. Don't trust MFP's calorie burn database, you did not burn 125 cals walking for 25 minutes. Invest in a heart rate monitor.

    You might want to take a closer look at your food diary. In 3 days you've got baked lays, sweet and salty nut bar, nabisco ritz bits, candy, 500 calories in creamy dressing, KFC and a couple of white buns, rolls.

    Get some whole grains in there, lean protein, get rid of the chips and nut bars and go for some almonds, peanut butter.

    Cut out the processed foods and watch the sodium. Also get a good HRM for accurate calorie burn counts. Add in lean proteins, veggies, whole grain and do not eat below your set goal eating less will harbor your weight loss.

    1. Track every morsel every day. I know that i have been in the mindset before where I think that i am doing okay and then I log and it is way over. You only tracked three of the last 9 days or so. Tracking your food is the key to getting in that wedding dress :)!!
    2. You can do it. You get up everyday and start and be awesome.
    3. Pump up the Jam. Workout cardio and strength. You will feel great and look great.
    4. Know that you are awesome! Positive self talk :)!

    You will get in the dress !!!!

    Have you set your goal weight, height, etc? Also remember to drink LOTS of water. Water will help flush out salt in your system and salt retains water and water is weight.

    Good advice. Watch the sodium. It is probably one of the single most dangerous item in our diets. I struggle with it daily, but it's hard to avoid. Less processed foods, learn to cook at home, smaller portions spaced throughout the day, stay under your goal weight calorie count.

    Also, get plenty of rest. Plenty. And drink lots of good, filtered or spring water. Lots ... more than 8 cups a day of you are able.

    The weight will come off, but you still need to change some of the habits that have built up over time.

    Also, have to agree ... this is NOT The Biggest Loser.

    Love yourself, know that this is a JOURNEY and we are here at various stages, but all on different journeys together with you.

    It's because you haven't got a calorie deficit. Either your calories burned is inaccurate, your weight / height general biometrics entered incorrectly so calorie goal not right, or you're not logging accurately enough so not keeping a true count of what is going in vs going out. logging won't make you lose weight but helps you keep track of what is going in vs going out. Simple as that really. Don't believe any other complicated stuff just yet. That's just the basics.

    Water weight won't get you down 4 inches, fat loss is what you want. Water weight comes and goes, so there's not a lot of point in worrying much about it.

    I can easily burn 125 calories walking for 25 mins. It simply depends on how fast you're walking. ;)

    It's fairly simple to see what the issue is, as the other user mentioned. You're sneaking in those pesky "low cal" scam snacks.

    Ditch the canned, processed fruits and eat the real things! Especially those little mandarin orange cups. Ditch corn, your body doesn't digest it and it doesn't do much for you. Eat all your meals; I noticed you're skipping meals. It's important to have a balance or your body will retain everything. Last but certainly not least, drink water! I would suggest you drink it continuously throughout the day. 5 cups a day will not do it. If you want fast results, glowing skin and to feel full, then drink water with every meal and between meals.

    All the best.

    I took a two week gander through your diary...here is what I suggest:

    1. Make sure that you have input your measurements
    2. Track Everything you consume and be honest
    3. Do not eat more than your goal calories
    4. Do not Starve yourself with less than 1200/day thinking you shed weight. Your body will go into starvation mode.
    5. EXERCISE

    You've made the choice. Now commit and ACT upon that choice. IF YOU WANT IT...GET IT!
    The decision to do or do not is yours....
