Havent lost any weight since starting MFP!!

Alright, I took a look and there are a few things. 1. eat more calories probably, make sure you're not eating (net) below your BMR. 2. be really careful about logging things, really make sure you're logging correctly, for example, the fruit, look at the diameter, was the orange really only 2 inches in diameter cause most aren't, for sandwiches it's best to log each individual ingredident, not just a beef sandwich unless you personally created that and use the exact same amounts every time, also oatmeal you log sometimes, do you make that with water or milk because you just log the packet so if you put anything in or on it, milk, sugar, fruit, raisins, etc. log that even if it's only going to be 10 or 20 calories, that adds up really quickly. 3. PROTEIN you eat VERY little protein, I saw a day you only had 31 grams, not okay haha, you should have way more, so add more high protein foods (plain chicken, yogurt, beans, lots of things), and 4. sodium, you go over or are almost at limit for sodium most days and that will bloat you up and it's not good for you, so watch sodium, try getting no salt added things, like for sandwich meats you can buy low sodium (hillshire farm has some) so that' would be good.

RECAP: eat more calories overall but less sodium and more protein, also make sure you're logging very accurately and honestly.

I agree with people here. You need to increase the amount of calories you are consuming. I am no expert but if you dont eat enough calories you put you rbody into starvation mode causing your body to store more because it doesnt know when it will get food again. Also try to figure out your BMR.your BMR is basically how many calories your body needs so try not to go under it.

Try using this it helped me:


This is from a girl names sharee10 or Funeral For My Fat on Tumblr

How many calories should i eat a day? This is the equation that i use to determine my calorie intake:

For WOMEN: 655 + (4.35 x Weight in pounds)+(4.7 x Height in inches) - (4.7x Age)= BMR The amount of calories your body burns just from being alive

FOR MEN: 66+(6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - ( 6.8 age in years)= BMR. that amount of calories you burn just from being alive.

Step 2: Take that number and multiply by your activity level:
•1.2 Sedentary (little to no exercise)
•1.375 Lightly Active (1-3 days a week)
•1.55 Moderately Active (3-5 days a week)
•1.7 Very Active (6-7 days a week)

Step 3:
•LOSE weight: Subtract 500
•MAINTAIN weight: keep the number the same
•GAIN weight: Add 500

The final number is the amount of calories you should eat a day 8)

A couple of things - my opinion only.

If you are truly consuming 800 calories a day, you are losing weight, unless you are VERY tiny to begin with. I don't care how much your metabolism slows down, you can not stay the same weight eating less than your BMR. If your stated BF measurements are anywhere near correct, you aren't. Try a PSMF for a month. It sucks. Just knuckle down and do it.

Secondly, for the average woman, 17% body fat is pretty low. I'm not discouraging you from trying to get there, but you might check and see if you can find some pictures of women in that range who have been accurately measured (DEXA or submersion). You might find that 20% is very acceptable to you.

You got a lot of great advice from previous posters. One other thing I would suggest is not to worry about 5#, especially with changes in your cycle. I know I am make and don't have any experience in that realm, but I can put on or lose 5# in a day depending on food and water intake.
