over a year and no weight loss

I have a problem with people jumping to that conclusion because I spent 3 years having doctors do the same thing and low and behold, I was that 1% of the time problem that the doctor wouldn't even humor. So yes, maybe it is a problem, but again. Lets assume for the moment its not. and figure out what that 1% problem could be. I'm not dumb and I know how to count calories if I have to, but I was hoping that posting on to a fitness blog might reveal something I haven't thought of yet.

Thank you for the reply everyone. But its sad to see everyone jumping to the conclusion that I'm over eating. I really don't think I am but will not exclude the possibility if nothing else comes up. Whether you agree or not, let's, for the moment assume, that I'm not overeating. I'm looking for a wide range of paths to be able to explore, and I can't do that if we're getting hung up one possible cause.

I'm also concerned that no one has addressed the weight gain in the first place, does this mean it's normal to gain that much weight in that much time?

I also have had many blood panels done, I went through 5 doctors in 3 years and every time that was the first thing they did. everything always came back normal, which is one of the reasons they always said it must be a mental illness. thyroid was my first thought as well, but again, tests came back normal.

Thank you so far for the comments and the time spent on them!

People are jumping to overeating first for a reason. You have had what seems like plenty of diagnostic testing done. If it was something simple like thyroid or other endocrine system dysfunction, it should have been found by now. This leaves 2 possibilities. You either A, have a rare metabolic condition not found by the many test and many doctors you have seen, or B you are eating more calories/burning less calories then you think. While A is possible, albeit unlikely, B happens all the time to people everywhere. You need to get a food scale and weigh 100% of what goes into your mouth. No cheat days/meals, no food you do not prepare yourself. Do this for 1 month and stay EXTREMELY consistent with both your exercise and calories consumed. See what your weight does. If you do not lose weight, reduce calories and give it another month. If 2 months go by with no loss, you could try and see an endocrinologist that specializes in complex metabolic conditions related to weight gain. Again it is entirely possible you do have a rare health problem, its just exponentially more likely you are simply eating more/burning less then you think.

I'm a nurse and used to work in a doctor's office. We saw people all the time that wanted to lose weight. We always referred them to the typical heart association diet. Some people did fantastic. Others followed it to a T and couldn't lose a pound to save their life. I for one have seen many people do fantastic on Weight Watchers, however, I tried it for 5 weeks and followed it religiously, but couldn't lose a pound! I too was fatigued and overweight, lacked energy and enthusiasm. A friend of mine suggested to me to buy a diet book because she had many family members who tried it and above actually losing weight, more importantly, almost immediately got their energy back and felt like a new person. I did buy the book and have to admit that I am in total agreeance with this doctor's philosophy. I lost 17 pounds in 5 weeks. When I started the diet, I had to set my alarm to wake up to eat breakfast and then would go back to sleep after I ate. There's a time frame that should happen between meals. By the 3rd day I was awake before the alarm and realized after a couple days I wasn't tired anymore. This was huge for me! I'm a firm believer that there isn't one diet out there that works for everyone! Consider getting the book. You could get at library possibly. It's called Dr. Abravanel's Body Type Diet and Lifetime Nutrition Plan. And I know what you're thinking... it's not the typical Pear, Apple, etc. body type book. It's based on how you put on your weight, things you crave, to figure out which gland in your body should be most dominant. Then explains how to stimulate that gland by eating right. I can't speak highly enough about it. I had tried numerous things prior and this works! On another note, there are some things that jump out to me in your daily log. I'm betting you're a "Thyroid" body type... I am as well. If I'm right. There's some obvious changes that could be made that might help. Let me know if you get your hands on a book.... I'd be glad to help if interested. And I don't necessarily think you're overeating... it may be what you are eating. Just because you stay under the numbers in a days time... doesn't necessarily mean it was the right choice food for your body type. I hear your frustration and was there myself. There is a science to it.

A true calorie deficit will result in weight loss up until you are skin and bones... It is impossible to maintain weight with a calories deficit over a 365 day period. Period.

So, the only answer: You are not eating a deficit. There may be other issues which contribute to the issue.

MPF has a great logging feature, a way to enter exercise, and even tells you what your deficit is. Its pretty awesome, check it out!!
