Havent lost a thing!!!!!

I hit a plateau around that weight EVERY time.. as a matter of fact i'm stuck right now so i'm not an expert by any means.. but I do better when I keep my protein a little higher with lean sources.. I do better when I limit my carbonated drinks, salt, and sugar. Maybe take a closer look at your specific nutrients and make sure you're getting in enough water and fiber and not too much salt. Also, when your sore from working out you retain water. I noticed you're burning a lot of calories. I retain 3-4 lbs when my muscles are sore and repairing themselves.. even more when it's my legs that are sore. Good luck and no, you're not doomed!

No, there is no weightloss "trick", and no, you will not be the fat girl forever. However, fit and healthy people generally eat healthy food and exercise regularly. It sounds like you've got the exercise part under control, so now you need to focus on eating better. Try eating foods with less carbs and sugar, and increase your protein intake. At your weight you could be aiming between 70-90mg of protein per day. Increase your water consumption to at least 2 litres/day, and drink a little more when you exercise. And no, there's no need to take a diet pill to jumpstart anything. Read the message boards -- there are tons of tips on effective weightloss. I started in January and I've lost 42lbs so far. It takes time. Be patient and stick with it. It WILL happen!!

Opening your food diary will get you more answers.

Chances are you are underestimating your consumption and/or overestimating burn. 9 times out of 10, that's what it is. Where you getting your "burn" numbers? 800 calories is huge...what are you doing exactly and where are you getting that number? If it's from the data base, it's most likely bunk...even a HRM is only about 70% accurate or so. I always ate back 70% of the calories my HRM said I burned to account for BMR calories and estimation error.

Also, weigh and measure everything that goes in.

You shouldn't be at any kind of plateau in a month...like I said...9 times out of 10 you don't have your calories tracking properly. Otherwise, go see the doc and have some blood work done.

If you are truly eating at a caloric deficit then get your thyroid checked now!!!! If you do have hypothyroidism or hashimoto...you will still have to keep dilgent with burning more than you're ingesting. I've been doing everything right for a year now and my progress is very, very, very slow...I did the same exercising and eating regime when I was younger and went from a size 12, 36% body fat to size 5, 22% body fat in 3-4 months!!!! This go round I'm still the same size after 11 months..but I'm much stronger..lifting heavier weights..and more toned..but the fat is being very stubborn...and the scale is ridiculously cruel...but I am not stopping until the fat burns away to reveal my wonderful muscles below....that is my life with hypothyroidism. Think of this as long term... til death do you part.. :flowerforyou: Good Luck!!!!

i just made it viewable....

Too many processed foods..too many carbs, not enough food...
Eat more fresh veggies and lean proteins...boiled egg whites should become your new best friend..and raw almonds and fresh fish!

also...unless you're doing an intermittent fast..which is fine..you should eat 3 small meals a day with small, high protein snacks in between... think plain greek yogurt with berries, or almonds or hard boiled eggs as your snacks....

There's very little actual food in your food. Everything seems to be ready made or fast food, IOW, highly processed. Make some eggs, grill some chicken with some veggies, have some fruit as a snack.

ETA: It's fine to have those thing once in a while, but they are making up the bulk of your daily menu.

i have a polar hrm that i use... i never go over 1500 calories and if i even get that high i dont eat back my calories... Everything i eat is measured and tracked....

If you are using MFP you have to eat some of you burn calories back. As someone mentioned above its very likely that and under over estimate is going on, so if you burn "800" calories eat 500 back. I know this sounds weird eating more to loose but if your body isnt getting enough calories it will hold onto what little it is getting just to keep you alive, because thats what your body is best at doing, keeping you alive!

looking at your diary it looks like you need to clean up your eating habits. remember weightloss is 80% of what you eat

I took a peak at your food diary, I would watch carbs, and sugar intake, also sodium. Add more fresh fruits and veggies.

I used to net 800-1200 calories a day, eating very similar to you. I felt that if I could fit pizza, Taco Bell, and Mcdonalds into my calories I could still eat how I wanted. I was stuck and frustrated!

I had a personal trainer/nutritionist look at my food diary and he said I needed to revamp my entire diet. Fresh veggies, fresh fruit, eggs, chicken, tree nuts, low fat beef, dairy products became my staples. He told me the 90 calorie bars, and breakfast bars were not good for me despite being low in calories. I thought losing weight was based solely on counting calories, but I found that if you eat a higher quality of food you feed your body nutritionally, you can eat a lot more quantity of food, and you feel a lot better during your workouts.

It was not what I wanted to hear, I loved fast food, and cookies and ice cream. I still wanted to eat that way, but I knew he was right so I tried it. It worked for me. I increased to 1600-1700 calories a day net, and finally lost. I personally try to eat about 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. I'm a distance runner and after playing around with several percentages that is what worked best for me in terms of energy to do 10 mile + runs. Of course I do eat back all the calories from these runs, so it's not why I lost.

That's what worked for me, so I thought I'd share. Good luck!

I ment I loose weight very slowly.

1200 - 800 means you live on 400 calories some days. It's not healthy. Eat 1200 and your exercise calories.
