    No need to look at your diary; you're not eating less than you are burning.

    It is most likely due to the high amounts of sugar in your diet, sugar is the main cause of fat.

    LOL no.

    Sugar does not cause fat. Excess calories do. You may want to do a little more research.

    OP- check out the flow chart that PeachyCarol posted. Are you using a food scale to weigh your food and are you eating exercise calories back? Also, I noticed nothing logged for Saturday and Sunday. Were you still tracking your calories?

    Steph, did you put that you are sedentary? Or that your job involves moving a lot?

    I'm no expert at all but looking at your diary, it seems like you don't log consistently & you eat pretty much only processed food. maybe start to log everything including weighing it & going for a bit more wholesome options?

    Yah no...

    OP from what I can see you don't use a food scale,
    You don't log consistently everyday
    Protein and fats are very low (they help keep you feeling fuller longer)
    a lot of your entries are suspect for correctness...

    So yah you are probably eating more than you think..

    Buy a food scale, log everyday, get more protein since you are such a low calorie goal and check the entries.

    Don't use homemade entries unless you've made it, make sure all nutrient values are there...etc.

    @yeahfatty I didn't realize she wasn't logging on weekends - that may be why. If you are drinking alcohol and stuff on the weekends, and not caring (You may) - it may be the issue as well.

    Well you seem to be under your calorie goal every day so you should be losing. But what's happening on weekends? You could be eating 5000 calories of donuts every Saturday night but if you're not logging it only you know if that's what's going on.

    What's up with not logging from friday after breakfast - monday morning? That is probably the problem! Also you dont seem to be weighing your food, do this!

    Do you use a food scale or not?

    You've got a lot of things like 1 medium banana, 1 apple, 1 cup, etc. If you're not losing weight it's probably because things like this are more calories than you expect because you're not weighing them.

    So, as others have said, start weighing everything!

    You're eating more than you think. Buy a food scale. You can get one on Amazon for around $10-15.

    If you are eating your exercise calories back only eat 50-60% back. The burns tend to be over inflated.
