I am not loosing weight??? Feeling discouraged.:-(

2 weeks is not very long time to already be doubting your efforts. There have been plenty of times where I didn't lose weight for 2, 3, or 4 weeks at a time, but then I lose again. Be a bit more patient. Also, if you need more advice, you may want to make your diary public so people can see what you are eating and your calorie goals.

1. Are you weighing/measuring your food? You could be overestimating/underestimating your calorie intake. If you don't have one, get a food scale. They're like $20 at Target.
2. Are you using MFP to track your exercise calories, or do you have a HRM? MFP is notorious for overestimating calorie burns

You need to be 100% honest with your food diary. Not saying you're not, but if you're just eyeballing it, you could be way off. I noticed alot of fried foods on your diary, which is fine, but needs to be in moderation. You didn't have any fruits or vegetables. You really need to incorporate those into your diet. Cracker and chips and processed foods won't fill you up or keep you satisfied like fruits/veggies. Eat more lean meats like turkey, chicken, fish. These are all things you should be having but aren't. They will help you feel fuller and last longer than the stuff you've been having, and you'll feel 1000% better and satisfied. The rest will fall into place and you will start losing. Remember, moderation! Weigh everything and make sure your portion sizes are accurate.

A lot of dirty calories in your diary. Much easier to accurately track clean calories. Your diet is the problem. You need to do some research on the foods you should be eating, when to eat and how much protein, fat, carbs should be clocked up daily.

If you're eating a lot of processed foods, they are often high in sodium. You could be retaining water. Also, I had a friend who ate very healthfully and was very active, but could not lose weight. Her doctor discovered she was allergic to almost all grains, and dairy. He told her that can cause inflammation & put her on a strict diet. No dairy, grains, alcohol, no meat/seafood, nuts/seeds to start out. After 2 weeks, lean meat/seafood except for beef. After 6 weeks wine. She alternates one week vegetarian the next lean meat in her diet. After 6 months (October), she can try adding grains/dairy 1 thing at a time to see how her body handles it. She's lost about 30lbs so far. She's really toning up, too as she lifts weights and gets cardio.

You can do it!

First of all, dirty v clean is broscience when it comes down to weight loss. It comes into play slightly more in terms of weight training performance, but not for weight loss. Just hit your macros properly and up your fat and protein.

Second of all, 2 weeks is a grain of sand. It didn't take two weeks to get you to this point, and it won't take you two weeks to reach your destination.

Finally, it's useful to note that most people overestimate their energy expenditure and underestimate their intake. Reevaluate and weigh your food, and invest in a HRM.

I didn't say that clean calories would speed up weight loss. I said clean calories are easier to track. So your point is kind of pointless???

In actuality most dirty foods (i.e processed foods) come in a package, with clear labels. They are just as easy to track if not more than clean foods such as produce and "healthy" foods with labels.

Please calm down.

^^^ Agree with everything this man says!!!

And I wouldn't eat back any exercise calories just yet (plus it does sound like you're overestimating), try it for a week or so and see how you do. And measure every single thing with a scale! You'd be surprised how much you're actually eating.
