No matter what I do I can't lose weight

Are you eating exercise calories back op?

Can you open your diary so we can see if we can spot what is going on? I'm almost certain the answer will lie in there and we can help you start losing again

I second this. At your age, height, and weight, even with a medical issue eating 1000 calories per day should show a loss. It should not show a gain and most definitely should not show a 14 pound gain in 14 days. Especially when you're saying you weigh out everything you eat. Something is amiss here.

If you are truly accurate in your statements, then you need to get to a doctor ASAP. It would be a medical condition that is extremely rare and transcends thermodynamics to the point where a case study would most likely have to be done on you.

I know people on this thread are trying to be helpful, but the most helpful thing for us would be access to your food diary. Being vegan doesn't matter, eating after 7pm doesn't matter, consuming sugar doesn't matter, and thyroid issues/PCOS/insulin resistance can affect weight loss, but certainly not to this degree if everything here is accurate.

The problem with these kinds of posts is that there will be no help given and no help received. If you're not logging your food accurately, with a food scale, in MFP how are we as a group supposed to help? When pressed for the logs, excuses are fired back... You say it's a hassle to log, I can assure you, you're not being honest with yourself.

Secondly, if you say you've got some medical condition that magically puts weight on you then you've already got your answer.

I'm new to all of this but I just want to add that your sugar level does play a role in your overall health. Skipping meals can affect way more than we imagine. It's just science. I think you should look into sugar levels and thyroid. There are ways to eat on the way to work. I did the college/work thing for a while and was able to sucessfully control my blood sugar by eating on the way. It's doable. And it's necessary for your health.

I honestly believe the mystery is solved. This happens often on the forums. "I only eat 1000 calories or less" We ask: Do you use a food scale? When they say yes and we ask to see the diary it's full of incomplete/inaccurate entries or the OP all of a sudden changes their tune about logging accurately.

How is logging in MFP a hassle but you write it down in a notebook? That seems odd and convenient with regard to what you've presented in this post. You can't say that you're not losing weight consuming 1000 calories or less when you can't be sure of your calorie intake.

how do you know you aren't eating back your calories, if you haven't logged in two months!? Plus, two portions of veg a day is pitiful - aim for 5-10.

I take it, that's every meal & snack? I probably have 2 portions a day if that!

You've grown a 14 lbs tumor. Go to a doctor.
