Almost everyone in this thread has tried to offer advice related to accurate logging, and your diary still has a ton of red flags. If you really were eating at the calorie totals shown in your diary there is no way you wouldn't be losing weight. Barring a medical issue, nobody should really struggle to consume 1200 calories.11

I’m just going to try my best today I’ve made myself 4 meals weighed and cooked rice chicken veg mushrooms just added it all together and in total it works out 205 cals per meal need to log it but what under stir fry type meal I guess once I’ve eaten every thing and my snacks I’m going to log it then
How do you know the calorie count if you haven't logged the meals? Where are you getting those counts from?
There are lots of ways to log things you've made. You can log the individual ingredients (not forgetting the cooking oil). If it's something you make a lot and don't change much, you can create a recipe and log that. If it doesn't have lots of ingredients or you alter it quite a lot, you can create a meal and log that.
The one way you absolutely should not log is to take some random 'stir fry type meal' from the database and log what you've made under that!
This. How do you know it's 205 calories if you haven't weighed and logged the ingredients?7 -

Kpaing...How do you make a meal that contains rice, chicken, vegetable and mushrooms for only 205 calories. About the only way to do that is by having only a couple of bites of each thing. You were complaining about not reaching your calorie level and if this is how you think you will do that then all the advice we have given you has been wasted.
Are you still trying to lose 10 lbs by June 6th?3 -

I call *kitten*.
You say nothing about quantity, or oil, or anything else. And you haven't logged it yet.
Those are not 205 per meal.8 -

The OP’s responses are really vague and just enough for people to continue to provide extensive advice and responses to those vague and non-specific posts. Everyone’s going in circles.7

What are the weights for the ingredients? Did you use any oil? 205 cal per meal for a stir fry with chicken and rice seems unlikely.
The OP logged a recipe from Allrecipes.com but when I search the site I cannot for the life of me find this particular recipe listed. Every other chicken stir-fry recipe I've checked over there has at least 350+ calories unless it excludes the rice.5 -
I’ve cooked them done by weighing and have been at work all day and not had gone to log wrote t all down what I’ve had and just done it on here5

I'm so glad someone said it. Sometimes I have the tendency to be too blunt on the boards and I upset this poster once after they posted several odd threads in a day about a month ago. They posted a thread asking if it was bad to eat late at night.
Me: Yes, it's a myth. You've started a lot of threads today. You made a post earlier asking if it was okay to snack, one talking about how your weight hasn't budged in three weeks, and now this one. I'm not saying that to discourage you from posting, it's just that you seem a bit frantic about your lack of loss and looking for possible reasons instead of sticking it all in one thread.
Them: Ok sorry it’s all new to me I won’t post any more sorry guys good luck
Me: As I wrote, I didn't say that so you wouldn't post; I said it out of concern. If my assumption was incorrect, I apologize, but you honestly seemed like your posts were coming from a place of worry rather than curiosity.
Them: I’ve never done a diet where I count calories and it’s confusing but not to worry I will not write anymore I will work it out thks
The responses struck me as responses that a rational adult would not post, leading me to believe this person may be a teenager. They even cited it as one of the reasons they were leaving in their "I've come to say goodbye" thread: "I did ask in the right places but practically got told I write to many posts I’ve. Even on cal counting and put weight on so don’t see the point of putting post up". It just seems like erratic, irrational behavior of someone who hasn't fully developed emotionally. However, they have said they have to fit into a dress for a wedding but did they ever say they were the bride? In any case, based on all the posts/threads started, I'm of the same opinion as @collectingblues11 -

And the Allrecipes one was magically the exact one you made? And was bizarrely low? And you couldn't find the individual ingredients?
We all know the answer to these.
Lying to yourself doesn't make you right.8 -

Agree with things not added up. lots of contradictory posts.I’ve cooked them done by weighing and have been at work all day and not had gone to log wrote t all down what I’ve had and just done it on here
you should weigh the ingredients raw.
You mean you bought a digital scale before work?
where did you note the weight and calories if not in myfitness pal?
where did you find the calories for each food?7 -
This thread has become increasingly uncomfortable so OP I am taking my leave. I wish you well and hope that you figure it out. Sorry I couldn't help.8

Actually, you were told to buy a scale and use it. Instead, you keep insisting that you need to eat more, and that everyone is against you, insisting that we're all the ones who are wrong,
The reality is that you have no clue what you're eating. And you think lying about it makes you more likeable.
