mfp doesn't help you lose weight, you have to lose the weight, correctly, by eating the right foods and enough of them. The calorie goal is the goal. You need to eat enough to get there, and exercise. You can do this.0

Broken record, eat healthy meals..not meat and cheese rolls...and I Strongly recommend cardio with some weight lifting..join a gym it will help your weight loss..if something helps you lose weight, ie exercise. Then why arnt you doing it? I actually enjoy going to the gym now and as weird as it sounds there are nights where I'm bored watching tv and go back to the gym for some cardio.0

Some days are 600, others 370??? 1200 should be the absolute lowest w./o exercise. You don't want to screw up your metabolism..try to eat more, clean foods. You can totally do this!0

You need to take your weight and divide it by two. That is how much you need to eat. (calories wise) and Eating all these bread products won't help weightloss but slow your metabolism. You need to eat Fruits, veg, and meat. THAT'S IT! Try that for a week, and I promise the weight will melt off.0

Bread does not slow down your metabolism.0 -

So if I weigh 180 and I cut it in two, then I should eat 90 calories? Or 900? Uh, no.
What slows down your metabolism is eating waaaaaaay below what your body needs to keep up its regular activities, even if you're in a coma.
First things first: eat a rational amount of calories daily.
THEN, start substituting healthier alternatives for the crap.
Take things one at a time and you may be more successful, but not if you're lying to yourself about what you can actually achieve, or what you want to.0 -
One of 2 things you're doing wrong:
1. You're not eating enough
2. You're not logging your calorie intake correctly
Looking at your diary, it appears that you are trying too hard. I often eat below my recommended calories, but I eat really well. I'm not sure how you can enjoy what you're eating. It makes me feel stressed just looking at it. It's not WHAT you're eating, but what you're not adding to your diet and how plain it seems. If you really did eat what you recorded yesterday, that is going to do your body and your mental state of mind nothing but damage.
You need to strike a healthy balance. I don't see much fruit or veggies. Perhaps add salads/steamed veggies to your proteins, sit down and feast on a meal.
To me it looks like quick fixes just to eat. We should at least enjoy what we eat and make a proper meal of it.
I would suggest you work out your long term goal and be realistic. There is not other way! But be kind to yourself physically and mentally! You can do it! Planning, planning, planning!!

Are you logging all your food? Because it looks like you need to eat more.
Try adding salads, more fruits, yogurt, and egg whites. All good sources of energy.0 -
It's kind of hard to give contructive feedback. It doesn't appear that you are logging all of your food, since there are entire meals and days with nothing. And if you are, you aren't eating very well. Not to mention that you aren't drinking any water! You probably aren't getting enough fiber either. Try and be really diligent about your logging and food choices. Good Luck.0

Wait, what? No it isn't. Even assuming that you meant add a zero on the end of whatever number comes up, that means someone weighing 180lbs needs to eat 900 calories per day.
Edit* Didn't realize someone else already said this.
But whatever. That still makes zero sense.0
