Why am I not losing weight like i think i should?

First off you know you are not eating enough. Second off, you know what you need to do. No one needs to tell you. Your food diary is sad and looks inaccurate. You need to eat more protein and less sugar and less salt. Your sodium intake is really high. a lot of sodium equals water weight. Are you drinking enough water? Eat more veggies and healthy protein's. I lost 50lbs before but through not watching I gained it all back now I am starting over. If I can do it, you can do it. Want more motivation start looking at the Success Stories. Look at their diaries. See what they are doing. I think you can do this. Just do it. It looks like you already lost some Lbs. if you lost them bc you are not eating enough, you will gain every pound back when you start eating again. We are all addicted to food or we would not be here. We are all here for a reason, to get healthy! I'm sorry if this sounds harsh. but YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

First, congrats on the weight you already lost. It is a major accomplishment and is the foundation for future success. First, everyone's body responds differently to various diet and exercise routine. With that said allow me to throw in my two pieces of copper:

Unless you have a medical reason to watch carbs, you do not need to cut them

If you're doing the keto diet, one of the tenants of the diet is to keep carbs super low. Without going into pages of explanation, here is a link to find out more about it. (Using Google URL Shortener: http://goo.gl/FDftdV) While yes, you don't need to cut carbs, cutting them can prove to be a huge benefit to people, who may be considered obese.

The general consensus is that you're not eating enough. I honestly don't know without see your food diary. It's your choice if you want to make it available to your friends, but I would say that if you are looking for guidance, it would help.

I like the steps @CupcakeCrusoe listed above. Weighing your food will help immensely. You'd be surprised how much difference there is between what we think we're eating versus what we're actually eating.

The OP does about 1:45 hours of walking per day, but never said if this is at one time, or broken up throughout the day. If you're walking that much, then I would think your body is used to that stress and it's time for a change. Incorporate some lifting into your routine. The combination of cardio and weight training burns more calories than either cardio or weight training alone.

@swolfe01‌, I know it may seem like a lot, but in the end, it's to help you reach your goal. All the best!

Do not be afraid of carbs our systems need carbs and there are plenty of guides on the net about what carbs are the best plus this app guides you very well on how much to eat. Also you are not eating enough. You have to lose weight in a way in which you can imagine yourself doing for the rest of your life. Doing something that drastic we all known is not a realistic way to live by long term and clearly your body is trying to tell you stop and do it properly.

Hey everyone. I started dieting back in September of 2014 with changing my diet. Over a 7 week period I lost 12 lbs at which time I decided to include cardiovascular into my plan. I started out walking on my treadmill for about 15-20 minutes and have progressed to about 1hr45 minutes a day. At this rate, and along with my diet I would think that I would be shedding the pounds (I started at 344 lbs and am down to 319); however, it seems to be a very odd cycle. I'll lose a few lbs and then gain a few pounds. I am at a loss as to what is going on... HELP!!!!!

You are not accurately estimating your caloric intake. At 319 that is the only possibility.

There's just no way that you are doing almost 2 hours of cardio and that severely undereating and not losing weight. Something doesn't add up here.
