I haven't not had a single soda since May 22nd! I thought this would be a great thing to cut out. I would only drink real Coke not the diet ones and I was having at least 6, 12oz cans a day some days more! I have not lost a single pound! I thought by cutting out soda I would at least lose a few! Any ideas??

Are you replacing those drinks with food?? Perhaps without realising? Look at your diary from before and after the 22nd and see if there are any differences in your diet.0

youre still eating too much. cutting out soda is a good start but it doesnt mean your at a deficit.
log what you eat, stay at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight0 -

I'm only eating 1200 calories a day. I thought maybe I was replacing food but I was very cautious not too.0

If you open your diary, people will be able to give you some specific suggestions.0

If you are counting every single calorie you put in your mouth you should be losing weight. Try going to your doctor.0

if you follow this and still arent losing weight, time to see a doctor0 -
Can you give an example of what you eat on a daily basis?0
-
Before you go running off to the doctor as others have suggested, how about you open your diary first. That would be a logical first step in helping you access where you may be going wrong.
There is really no point in asking for help in why you aren't losing if we can't see how you're logging.0 -
You're not in a caloric deficit.
Start weighing, measuring, and logging every single thing that goes in your mouth.
Not drinking soda is not magically going to make you lose weight.0 -

Can you explain to me why some really fat people, having a caloric deficit, and exercising like crazy do not lose a single pounds? and also, why some people, eating pizza, ice creams, burgers, sodas and a whole bunch of crap, do not get a single pounds?
The caloric deficit is a myth, if that works why there is so many fat people? pretty much every person that is doing weight loss diets is having a caloric deficit, but almost every single person get the weight back or they even add more, some is missing here.0 -

No. It's not a myth. It's thermodynamics. People are fat because they eat at a caloric surplus.0 -

"But what about the laws of physics? Aragon told me that no such study exists that shows people being overfed and losing weight. What’s more, there is no study in existence that shows people being underfed and not losing weight. Numerous highly controlled metabolic ward studies have shown again and again that macronutrient ratios — carbs, fat and protein — do not matter when it comes to weight loss. Calories are always the common denominator. "0 -

I am still waiting for the answer to my question.0

OP - Congrats on kicking the soda habit. There are a lot of possibilities at play here. You're eating too much and not weighing and measuring your food intake. You're eating too little. There's no rule that says you have to stick to a 1200 calorie diet to lose. I can lose eating 1400-1450. I've lost eating more than that, too, especially if I'm really focusing on running and training. I don't know your current weight, but generally speaking, people with significantly amounts to lose, do not get put on a 1200 calorie diet on MFP. If you're truly weighing all your food and logging everything, are you exercising? It is possible you do have something medical going on, but again, without more info, that's hard to know.0

I am still waiting for the answer to my question.
And yet...you said this in another thread:
"Your body is not going to lose more than 2 lbs of weight a week, if you lose more, because you have a huge caloric deficit, you can put yourself in serious trouble. "
Are you still conflicted?0 -
I am still waiting for the answer to my question.
Your question was answered. People have shown it wasn't a myth. Calorie deficit works. Problem is.. Many people think they are eating at a deficit and they aren't. They're not measuring food, taking into account things like added butter and other fats, etc. If you are diligent and accurate in your intake and eat a deficit, you'll lose weight.0
