lost ZERO pounds and I'm HUNGRY!

Can't see your diary...maybe you aren't eating enough? I know it sounds crazy...diet = eat more (better though) for a lot of people. I am proof of this! Feel free to add me I am on every day! (40 days and counting.....)

Be patient.

Don't weigh yourself for 30 days.

Eat some high volume, low calorie food. A big meal sized salad maybe, measure the dressing.

Eat. Just, eat.

Eat. Just, eat.

Agree^^^^^ just eat....takes time

I can't see your diary so I have no idea what you're eating. But if I was a betting woman, I'd say you aren't eating enough. Go to the website for "Fat2Fit Radio" (don't know the web address off hand but Google it) and use their BMR calclator to tell you what you should be eating every day, calorie wise.

My next thought is perhaps you aren't using your calories wisely (which is why you're hungry). 100 calories worth of broccoli is NOT the same as a hundred calorie pack of cookies. Now, in terms of actual caloric intake, obviously it's the same. But in terms of nutrition, fiber content, etc., not even close. Perhaps it's how you're "spending" your calorie alotment that's the problem.

My other thought is if you're going to post something like this, make your diary viewable so we can make intelligent suggestions (or at least semi-intelligent ones!).

I wish you the best of luck. If you choose a realistic eating and exercise plan, you WILL lose weight over time.

only food I have is a Snickers bar in my bag

You may want to start with fixing this. That whole "hunger inside you and it wont go away" line from the commercial is not litteral.

Settings > Diary Settings > Public.

Eat when you're hungry and pay no attention to the scale.

5 days is probably too short a time to expect results. Drink lots of water, eat at a moderate deficit, and give the body some time to work.

You are hungry because you are not eating enough. MFP builds in a deficit for you, don't try to create some massive one by under eating. Try to get closer to the number it gives you.

EAT!!! (this advice has been given free of charge)

You may want to keep an eye on your sodium levels too. A quick peek at your journal and I am seeing a lot of packaged/processed foods. That can mean a lot of sodium.

i have just started back at this after signing up a while ago and i'm having much more success this time around. I make sure that i have access to mfp via my ipod so i can take it to work with me. Planning is the key really. I work as a hairdresser and my mealtimes are all over the place....especially on a \saturday. Food isn't always an option and i knew this would be a sticking point for me. To combat this i keep a couple of slimfast shakes at work in the fridge or my bag as i can drink these while working. They are only around 250 calories and can really help me with hunger pangs until i can eat REAL food. i also set myself a more realistic goal this time. Before i put in that i wanted to loose 2 + pounds a week and this gave my 1500 cals per day. i dropped my goal down to 1 lb a week and now i can eat 1800 cals per day. Yes ideally i want the weight to come off like yesterday but having the extra calories and loosing the weigh slower is better than feeling hungry and ruining my entire week by feeling that i have failed then binging. realise where your difficult times are and try and plan around them!!!
