Haven't lost weight and don't know why

A week and a half isn't always enough to see results.
Your best bet is to weight yourself only once a week at the same time (natural weight fluctuations occur through the day and the week, but around once a week at the same time should remove some of the variables involved). You'll maybe see a pound a week, with some variation.

Hi, just glanced at your diary and see that you have not logged any water -- try drinking tons of it! it apparently helps to shift the glucose out of your muscles, and you might see a drop. Keep at it, you will see a change soon.

If the lifting is new you are retaining water/glycogen in the muscles for repair.

With new exercise that can last up to 4 weeks.

you need to put your calories back up as well...with so little weight to lose there is no reason for an 18 year old male to be eating less than me.

Age has less to do with energy needs it's primarily on weight (LBM, organs) and activity. He should likely keep his goals for a few weeks before doing adjustments.

(ETA: Likely should eat more at some point)

I am struggling to lose weight myself. Once I am at a weight my body seems to be able to keep it on for years at a time with very little flunctuation. I wonder what that means for my metabolism. I was 150 for years and then it spike to 180 in three months once I got a desk job and stayed at 212 since which is now six years later.

Sooo when I start in MFP it had me at 1700 calories and I gained weight. I was also working out a lot so last week I decided to do a short experiment and raised my calories to 1900 and did not workout. I did this because MFP from what I can tell - is telling me that I am just barely eating enough on the 1700 amount and then to add exercise to the mix is burning up what I managed to eat. Tell me if I am wrong. I literally went to Wendy's just to have a cheese burger right before the gym. Another port choice to increase my caloires one day was to eat twobinstead of the one candy bar. I would feel quilty if in reality i actually wanted the second bar but that's not the case. I knew i would not eat until much later.

It seems like people on MFP do not like when people say they can't eat enough. So I won't say that. I will say that this is a learning experience. I have never dieted, yo-yo dieter or anything so I don't know how my body response to anything really.
So the question is what am Im doing wrong? I just read a post of a guy who might be overeating calorie rich foods like almonds. Mabe I can try something like that?

1) Nobody likes to hear people say "I can't eat all that!" because HELLO, you got fat somehow! So unless you switched to a purely raw food diet, you sound like you're full of crap.
2) Thirty pounds in three months is pretty drastic; did you talk to your doctor?
3) Are you weighing your food accurately? If you're not, then start. Kitchen scales aren't that expensive. If you're "struggling" to eat all your calories, but gaining....you're probably eating more than you think.
4) It sounds like you have issues planning. Try putting healthy snacks, like nuts or jerky, in baggies and carrying those and some fruit/veggies around with you.

I just weighed in today (it's the second week) and haven't had any results yet, I'm not really sure what's going on. Unless if the first day that I weighed in I just happened to be dehydrated. I weigh every piece of food that I eat so I should be losing weight with the calories I'm eating.

It will take probably 6 weeks before you can see fat loss on the scale past your bodies just typical weight fluctuations due to water retention. Expecting to see clear weight loss in 2 weeks is not reasonable.

If you are not losing weight then try changing what you do. Cut out the workout for a week. Look at the ingredients of what you are eating. Try cutting different foods out. For me it was removing added sugar. I have a friend that lost weight after removing dairy from her diet. I think if you are only gaining then your body is telling you what you are doing is not working. I think a week will tell you if what you are doing is working or not. My eating habits has me losing every week.
