Not losing weight- Help

You need to open your diary so we can see what you eat. Also, depending on what you're doing at the gym, you may not be eating enough if you're not eating back your exercise calories.

How long have you been trying to lose?
Do you weigh your food?
Since your diary isn't open do you log every thing you consume?
Why are you eating 1200 calories?

If you go to MFP My Home click on Settings then click Diary settings.... about half way down you will see the option to make it public

Can't see how not eating back her exercise calories means she would not lose weight, bad logic, she needs to eat less volume or different types of food, the diary will only help if it is accurate, either way she needs less calories not more, with most the first month is the one where you tend to lose the most so something is wrong

I am eating 1200 calories because myfitnesspal has suggested me when i enter my goal weight and duration. My goal weight is 130 lb in next 6 months from Jan. 1 month already passed. Not a single pound lost.
Made my diary public.
jwhited71- Did you lost 99 lb ? Congrats for that. how much time does it take?
Thanks for help

Yes I lost 99 lbs in just over 13 months. Thanks!

I took a look at your diary and it doesn't look like you are weighing your food. That really does make a difference with accuracy. Because of this you are probably eating more than you think. Also what are you drinking? Does it have calories? If so you need to log that as well.

Read this thread it might really help you out:

You don't seem to be eating the best quality food. Compared to other things you eat, it seems fruits/veggies are low on your list of foods to eat.

& as much as I know calories are what matters, you do seem to be eating a lot of carbs. You could try and see if it helps if you try to stick to a lower carb amount. Might work, might not.

Agree with this as a healthy diet it is pretty bad no offence, you are over your calories, have way too many carbs and are eating too much processed food, your protein is too low, if you are not measuring well and add in the presumption that the calories in processed food are likely to be inaccurate

A good rule of thumb where possible is to try and do the following

Weigh everything for a while
avoid as much as possible processed food if it hasn't come out of the ground,, walked around or fallen out of a tree but is in a jar or packet leave it alone
cut back on rice,bread potatoes as much as possible

cheese slices,chapati and rice is not the way to go

No I eat lots of processed food, eating potatoes right now.... It's about calories in calories out to lose weight.

You're wasting a lot of calories on foods that aren't nutrient dense (fried foods, white rice, different kinds of bread, etc.). You could easily up your protein intake by another 40 or 50g (aim for 1g per pound of lean body mass), eat a lot more fruits and vegetables, and switch the simple carbs for more complex ones that will take longer to digest and will make you feel full longer. You don't have to cut out things you enjoy like chipati, but eat one of them instead of several and maybe don't eat them every day. It's all about moderation and learning how to fit things into your calorie and macronutrient goals.

You might take a look at this calculator to make sure you've set a realistic calorie goal for how much exercise you get and how much weight you'd like to lose: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

More often than not, a 1200 calorie diet isn't the right fit, no matter what MFP suggests. Make sure you have your weekly goal weight set realistically. 2 pounds/week is only right if you have 75+ pounds to lose; otherwise, 1 pound is probably a better fit. Once you find the right calorie goal and macros, you need to stick with them. Consistently going over with your calories will mean you'll be eating at maintenance or gaining weight.

Hence the word CUT BACK. Well done eating lots of processed food i am impressed, however healthier foods are better for you end of it is not even an argument

Looking at your dairy, it looks like you have gone over on calories almost everyday not to mention over your carbs. Try to cut back on your carbs and eat more fruits and vegetables with lean meat. Also try upping your calorie burn while at the gym. Aim for around 300 calorie burned 3 or more days a week. Also add in strength training.

I know for me 1200 calories did not work at all. Calculater your BMR http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and DO NOT eat lower than that. Use that as your calorie goal if you have too. That is what worked for me.
