I am exercising regularly, eating 1200 calories. Not eating rice & junk. Sometimes I just eat 1 bar of kitkat. But still not loosing. I also drink lemon in lukewarm water empty stomach every morning. Drinking 3 litre water. My weight is the same since 5 months

    You need to tighten up your logging. You are not in a deficit. Don't use quick add calories.

    It doesn't matter what you eat as long as you are sticking to a caloric defict. Not eating rice or having lemon water makes no difference. How are you measuring these 1200 calories? Are you using a food scale or eye balling your portion sizes? 1200 calories is very low for most people. If you aren't losing weight, then you are eating more than you think

    This. You also need to log every single day.

    Please take a look at this thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide

    But they're not accurate. If you're not losing weight, ensuring accuracy is step #1. Until you do that, nothing else matters.

    What's your current height and weight?

    It looks like you've skipped logging about 12 of the last 26 days. I know it's hard to keep up with, but it looks like you need to be more consistent.

    Don't give up, log in every day and log everything that you eat. Be accurate when you measure your food. Eat clean and workout everyday. You'll see results.

    The advice to log daily, log everything, and measure accurately is good.

    But "eating clean" is irrelevant for weight loss. Working out, while great for fitness, isn't necessary to lose weight. OP just needs to create a deficit, which can be done with a variety of foods and can include working out daily, a few times a week, or never.

    You don't have to eat clean if you don't want to, just eat in a caloric deficit. OP did you see what I wrote before. Look up ^^^^ you haven't answered any of the questions ppl asked you.

    It looks like you tend to not log on the weekend...this is a mistake, because a weekly deficit can easily be blown through in 1 day of over-eating. Consistency is key. :) And hang in there, this is a long learning process for everyone.

    agree with everything except the clean eating part.

    What are your stats? What is your BMR and where did you get the 1200 kcal per day? Was it calculated by MFP?
    From what you told us, my best guess is that you are underestimating how many calories you are consuming.
    Are you cooking your meals or eating out? If you're cooking them use recipe builder to know exactly how much you eat.

    I find that if you stay at same routine, your body adapts and that is why there's no new changes, whereas if you create a new change, you get a get a new response. This is what I think. For me, when I was stagnant I challenged myself more at gym and that did the trick. Also, I increased my calories based on what trainer told me. She said if you dont eat enough your body will hold onto the fat because it needs nourishment. This was actually true. I ate more, and I have more energy to do more and am kicking butt at gym. I actually feel I've never had this much energy, and I am hardly ever hungry.
