    Hello

    If you haven't already you should read some of the pinned threads or "stickies" on this subject. It explains that eating below your BMR slows your metabolism and weight loss.

    You should eat at your BMR according to "Eat More Weight Less" groups. However, after reviewing your diary, you really need to consider changing what you eat. You eat a ton of processed foods. Where is the water, fruits, and veggies? You eat processed garbage that is horrible for your health. No wonder the weight isn't coming off. Someone at your weight, the pounds should be melting off with correct exercise and diet. I suggest eating fresh fruits and/or veggies with every meal and limit the "goodies" aka junk. Maybe treat yourself to one cookie every other day.
