Disappointed!!

Please start by opening up you food diary so we can see what you may be eating.

Are you exercising? Drinking a lot of water?

You can do it, just keep at it!!!! I know this is very frustrating!

Hi,
Feel free to friend me.

Being Indian you might want to check your carbs (rice, naan, roti etc.) just because it is a large part of the diet and don't provide much nutrients given the calories. I'm Indian too although I don't eat Indian food regularly.

I think you can go to settings. I think that's how I made my menu/nutrition diary viewable. I'm not sure though, still pretty new to MFP. Welcome, and good luck to you!

I noticed some days you're under 1000 calories, and other days you are over your goal by quite a bit AND you don't exercise regularly.

Develop a routine and try to stay within a reasonable range of your calorie goal. Also, make sure you eat enough or your metabolism slows down. And I don't just mean your metabolism burning fat, I mean the energy you have for basic biological functioning.

Healthy body= weight loss!

I looked at your diary and it doesn't look like you logged everything in. You ate plain mung beans cooked only in water with no vegetables, meats, or sauces?

I think you have to go back and really get serious about what you are logging in your diary. weigh and measure everything and make sure that you are counting all the calories, especially fats.

Also I saw a lot of sugar on one of the breakfasts. I'm NOT suggesting that you switch to fake stuff. That would be a mistake. But retraining your palate to eat less sweets and more meat and veggies might help.

I'm not trying to be cruel but trying to tell it like it is, I hope to always be helpful and never hurtful.

what everyone else said

AND... make sure that you are using measuring cups to measure... 1 ladle isn't always 1 cup (my big ladle is about 1.5 cup and my small one is about 0.75 so when I use the big one I count it as 1.75 and count the small one as 1 because of overfilling... but I measured them to find out for sure before I knew that... when I was just counting them as 1 cup it was a lot less! and some of the soups I eat can be 2-300 calories per cup.... so being almost a full cup over and count 2 ladles full... that could be 400 extra calories!!

Okay, check this out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

And then use this calculator: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

You can change your diary settings to watch sodium and whatever else you want (fiber, sugar, etc). I am not familiar with Indian food, so I have no idea if some of what you're eating is loaded with sodium or not. And be sure to track everything that goes in your mouth. Little bites here and there can really add up.

Make sure you are exercising and drinking a lot of water. Also, give your body time. It took me several weeks of working it at it to see a loss. And it seems my losses show up in a minimum of 1.5 pound increments. I don't show gradual losses, I show whooshes (really technical term, I know). Seems this is the case for many people.

So, hang in there and keep at it. Be sure to read those links above.

Try taking a walk each day...I started on slow and short and now walk at least an hour every am and the change is my weight is finally noticable...I am only down 8 pounds in 3 weeks but I feel great and seem to have way more energy...drink lots of water and eat smart foods...I used to grab a lunch cake when I needed a snack and now I keep fresh Vegetables cut in the fridge so they are quick and easy snacks. Good luck and just keep at it..I also replaced any potatoes and breads at dinner with a salad...I have learned to eat the salad first that way I am not as hungry..

I want to emphasize one thing that has been mentioned already........MAKE YOURSELF DRINK THAT WATER! Think of it as medicine and do it when you don't feel like it at all. It will become a habit. I have a hunch that if you drink 64 or more ounces in the next few days, you will see a loss right away. It will help get things going for you. Don't give up.
