What am I doing wrong?

you have been at a lower weight before so im sure you can do it. maybe take your diary off private so we can see if you are eating anything wrong. and keep trying!

yes if interested go into the settings and make it public then somebody can see if it is with the foods.. Don't give up! Keep at it. goodluck!

see your doc. it could be a medical condition. if you measure and weigh and wear a HRM and you're certain about the 1400-1500 cals. but if you're off by even 100 cals per day that could very well be the problem.

and if you want help from MFP members you can open up your diary to be public so that people can give you nutrition advice.

and if you don't want to make it public, then i would say you could always drop down the cals by 500 cals per day (net) to see where that gets you in a week.

First thing I noticed is you are consistently over in your sodium, maybe you can start by bringing that number down.

You eat too much salt and dont drink enough water. What happens is your body will retain water if your eating too much salt so it looks like the problem is that it's not that your not losing weight (fat) its that your retaining water which makes it look like your not losing anything.

I would agree with a lot of the posts that say "go to the doctor" there could be a medical reason that you are not losing weight, always get it checked out! It is better to go to the doctor to get results (positive or negative) than to just let it sit there and possibly be something that you needed help with. I know we were wondering the same thing for me because I am kind of in the same boat as you are - all my tests came back negative but she was giving me different diets to try which has really helped me out a lot. Sometimes you just need a change to shock your body into where it needs to head. I hope things get cleared up for you!

you could try to make your own soups with low-sodium broths. it's very easy to do with fresh veggies and a little chicken or beef.

also if you cut the ketchup and bbq in half down to 2 TBSP, both of those things will help with sodium.

Not being able to see your food diary it is impossible to say what if anything you are doing wrong.

The most common mistakes are:

1) Not measuring your food consumption correctly and eating more than you think you are. Using a kitchen scale and measuring spoons and cups is a must. It is very easy to think what you have on your plate is less than it actually is. For that matter, don't trust the nutrition info on pre-portioned foods (ie. this number of whatever is this many calories) as the portions are often incorrect. If you weigh a slice of bread and compare it to what the nutrition information on the bag says for a slice to the weight a slice is supposed to be, you will more often than not find a slice weighs more than what they say it will which means it has more calories. Related to this is selecting the incorrect activity level if you selected too high.

2) Not eating enough. The key to weight loss is a moderate deficit. That is why MFP suggests a 1 pound per week weight loss not a 2 pound per week one. Also MFP expects you to eat your exercise calories as it has already worked the calorie deficit into your calorie budget. If you have too much of a deficit over a long enough period of time it will hinder weight loss causing your body to do whatever it can to reduce the calories you burn in a day. Related to this is selecting the incorrect activity level selecting too low.

3) Eating too much processed food and neglecting veggies, nuts, meat and other less processed foods. Refined sugar can cause a huge amount of problems for some people, in particular those who are insulin resistance in some way. This would include women with PCOS.

4) Medical problems like PCOS, Thyroid problems and the like can make losing weight difficult if they are not taken into account. If you have been doing everything right and are not losing you may need to make a trip to your doctor to see if you have an underlying health issue. Related to this certain medications make losing weight difficult. If you are on any medication check with your pharmacist to see if that is the case with them.

If you open your diary we may be able to help more.

What jumped out to me was that your sodium is quite high and is high most days. Your water intake is pretty low, so you are not flushing that extra sodium from your system.

Maybe try not eating back your exercise calories. Everyone is different, but that is what works best for me.
