    I can't speak for anyone else, but I can easily wipe out an entire week's calorie deficit in a single day. Your body logs everything you eat, whether you record and it or not.

    Don't eat your exercise calories back during the week…and allow yourself only one cheat day on the weekend..and I bet you lose doing that. You obviously don't want to live being strictly on a diet all week long..so don't.

    Try changing up your workout routine to something your body isn't used to. I recommend swimming

    Keep in mind that MFP overestimates the calories you burn!

    Just like you I wanted to loose weight but could not seem to do it! Once I followed the advice that others are sharing here about making sure I had a weekly calorie deficit the weight steadily started to come off (I am down 18lbs). I measure and weigh everything!

    I took a glance at your diary. You log things like exactly 4 oz. vodka, 3 oz. chicken breast, 0.5 cups mashed potatoes etc. Either you're super-picky about portioning or you're estimating... and my guess would be that you estimate, a lot. Odds are that you're eating a lot more calories than you think you are, even on the days you're being careful. I think a kitchen scale would benefit you enormously.

    Measuring and logging is 24/7. You can eat more but you have to know how much more exactly.
