    You've given little information. What's your height, weight now, how much you want to lose, how many calories MFP has given you, are you weighing and logging everything you eat and drink on a digital scale, are you exercising, and how much....... All of this info will give someone the tools to help you. An open food diary also cuts to the quick, but people are afraid--there usually lies the problem. Alot don't like to log and don't do it consistantly. Those who do lose. Best.

    Hi, when you do weighting, make sure to do it early morning after you wake up. This is the best time as most of liquids & foods have been absorbed which will give you the net weight of your body. So do it tomorrw with light clothes and then do it the day after same time same clothes and then you will get the accurate results. I hope it will be positive

    Then open up your diary. And the other stats????? Also MFP won't let you go below 1200 cals without a red warning written underneath your calories--have you been seeing that?

    2lb is well within the limit of a normal fluctuation in body weight. Remember it's impossible to get an actual accurate weight, as the body, being the complex machine it is, fluctuates all the time. Your levels of glycogen, extracellular fluid, and gastrointestinal contents are never going to be the same at any given point.

    You're also using consumer grade weighing scales. They have a large tolerance.

    if you're eating 1100 calories a day, and if you're logging is on point then it's nigh on impossible for you to gain body fat. In fact if these two statements are true then you should be losing body fat on a consistent basis. Maybe you need to look at your logging and figure out if you're consuming more calories than you think.

    In regards to the scale weight. Track and observe trends over a sustained period using one of the many applications out there, ignoring scale fluctuations.

    Thanks guys Ik I am pretty strict with calories so they are normally always about 1150 or 1200. The only problem I can think of is some meds I am on. I have been on steroids for 3 years now for leukemia I had and steroids makes people gain weight so I think it is making it hard for me to lose

    It doesn't matter how strict you think you are--you're not losing. No stats, no open diary, so carry on just as you are and good luck.

    If you don't use a food scale, you're guesstimating on calories. If you change your diary settings to public, people can take a look and help you troubleshoot.

    input/output. Have you output the same amount as input? Chances are not. Sweat it!
