Not loosing weight?

in Health and Weight Loss
I've been tracking exercise and caloric consumption for over a month. I try to be as honest as I can when recording the foods I have eaten and portion size. On the days I don't workout (like today), I plan several meal options for dinner to try to make sure I don't exceed my caloric goal. I am usually under my goal by a few 100 calories on days I work out. Still, I haven't lost any weight. I have the same 5lb fluctuations I have always struggled with after a strenuous workout or at certain times of the month, but no loss. Could someone please help me figure this out.
Thanks!

    Can you open your diary? We might be able to spot patterns that you're missing.

    You know I almost edited my post after looking at her profile, but I didn't because I thought "surely no one would be such a huge d*ck as to quote my post and nitpick at it." Boy was I wrong. Good job.

    You've only been tracking for a month so it's hard to say if that 5 lb fluctuation is a fluctuation or a loss. The only advice i can give is that you can always improve the accuracy of your logging (using a food scale and proper measurements with measuring spoons, cups etc..). 5 lbs in a month is a reasonable loss so give it a bit more time.
