So depressed...

you talked about your exercise, but nothing about your eating/drinking and your food diary is not public. what you eat/drink is 80% of the fat loss equation. exercise has its benefits, but you can't out-train bad eating. anyway, I suspect the answer is somewhere in what you are eating. I recommend opening up your food diary so we can take a look.

You seem to be eating FAR too little. Your body possibly feels like you have no food available, so it worries about that and makes sure to keep all the fat and weight on you that it can.

I'd like to ask how much you weigh now, and what your goal is? It is likely that you have your weight loss per week setting too high.

I am the same age as you, you are able to lose weight (barring any other physical troubles)

Try to set your food goal to lose 1 lb per week, it should give you a higher daily calorie goal. 1200 is very small for a goal, and many days you do not even eat 1000. That is the main reason you are seeing trouble.

I just did a brief flipping through your diary and noticed that you don't necessarily log everyday or, if you did log its not *always* complete. I don't know if your going over calories on those days but that could be factoring in to your stagnant weight loss.

If I were you, I'd make a small goal for yourself to log your food, every day, for at least 30 days in a row and see what happens. Diet plays a huge role in weight loss and I think its really important to get that in check first. Also, be sure you're being honest with yourself. Do you eat a handful or spoonful of food and not log it? Are you just estimating how much you eat or are you measuring with measuring cups and weighing on a food scale?

Just try one month of being completely, and wholly honest with yourself and see if you see a change! Also, when you do weigh yourself make sure you do it at the same time everyday. I prefer to weigh myself right when I wake up so the food I ate/water I drank doesn't play into my weight.

Are you logging your exercise consistently? What is your current weight loss per week goal?

After looking at your diary, I'd definitely suggest tracking your sodium. A lot of foods you're eating are very high in sodium. Try for a more clean diet. Also, IDK if you're getting enough water since you don't track it. The high sodium and lack of water is major factor though. I'm often under my 1200 cals/day but I zig zag my cals and usually splurge on the weekends. I'd give yourself a few "cheat" days and up your cals just to jump start your metabolism. So many days under 1200 cals is going to stunt your progress

Are you logging your exercise consistently? What is your current weight loss per week goal?

very good question. I meant to add to my list that you probably aren't eating enough because you're netting less than 1,200 calories most days. however, I think making better choices with what you eat is going to make a big difference for you. say buh bye to processed foods and hello to natural food.

1. Set your goals to lose 1lb/week.
2.Log every bite and every workout.
3. Here's what worked for me:

My goals were to lose 1lb/week and I reached my goals last month. My calorie limit for the day was 1,260 and on average I burned 300-500 calories/day working out. I pre-logged my workouts and spread the extra cals around during the day with healthy whole foods (yogurt, nuts, fruit, veggies). I was never hungry on this program. I REACHED my calorie goals, and did not fall below them each day.

So 1,260
-500 for a workout
= 760 calories for my body to run off of
(that's not enough obviously)
Total calories consumed = 1,760

If you are not MEETING your calorie goals MFP gives you in order to lose the 1lb/week you ARE NOT going to lose weight. If you do lose, you will not keep it off for good. The reason is because MFP provides a built-in deficit. If you don't meet your goals you are operating at a deficit to a deficit (see above--760 yikes!) and this is not good for your body.

Loving everyone's advice. I will do some clean grocery shopping this week, try to cut back on some of the "junk." Thank you everyone for your support

You are most welcome. It's not just the quality of food, it's the quantity. If you are falling below your MFP goals on a regular basis you are not fueling your body properly and you are not going to lose the weight.

Girl, not only are you starving yourself, but you already look really good. Seriously, a woman who looks like you just needs to maintain.

How about eating more than the current calories but with removing the candy and adding high fiber foods?

Have you thought about changing your macros? I upped my protein from the default 15% to 25%. Maybe try adjusting yours and seeing if that helps. Do you track your fiber? FDA recommends that women eat at least 25g a day, which is sometimes higher than the amount set by MFP. If you don't already, start taking a daily vitamin.

I know this has been said to death, but EAT MORE! I know it's counterintuitive, but it works. Fruits and veggies are your friends
