Lord knows I am not an expert at this but on those days I did look at your diary, it seemed to me that you had very little protein and went over your carbs. I know it can be very frustrating to do the exercise and think your eating correctly and than not see the scale go down. But as the others said keep on going, don't give up. You have taken the first step and that is to realize you need to do something about your weight and you have begun to do it. Be proud of that fact. Good luck to you in the coming weeks. I am sure you will do a great job.0

I am currently 234/235 and am eating 1300 cals a day and burning 2200 - 3200 cals a week eating most of my exercise cals back.
Something isn't adding up here.
1300 calories a day for 7 days is 9100 calories. You say you burn 2200-3200 calories a week, so assume an average of 2700. You're therefore netting 9100-2700 = 6400 calories a week. That's 914 calories per day, and your estimate of "eating most of your exercise cals back" is off by roughly 30%.
So you either misspoke in your original post, or you're starving yourself. With a mostly incomplete food diary, it's impossible to say. Most likely, you're eating way more calories than you think you are. Otherwise, you are starving yourself and your metabolism has shut down.0
