Doing well!
On my fourth day of using My Fitness Pal, on Monday I weighed back at 158lb, I've been keeping under my set calories for a 2lb loss per week, and doing exercise to give me extra calories if I eat more. This morning I weighed 155 in my underwear which was better than I was expecting, and I am hoping to keep it up!

Struggling
Well I've been struggling of late to stay on track, so for the last two days I have gone back to filling in my food diary at My Fitness Pal.
I have gone over my 1260 calorie recommended intake both days, but in order to balance it out I have done exercise. One good (albeit boring) exercise is simply to climb up and down the first stair. This apparently, according to MFP, burns up 10 calories a minute. I did two 10 minute sessions today, and my thighs are feeling it so I guess it's doing some good!
Weigh in yesterday was back up at 158lb. I am aiming for a 2 lb loss by next Monday, although would be happy if it was lower!
To stay within my calories, it seems that steering clear of sandwiches is prudent, as I totalled up the cheese, chicken and mayo sandwich I ate earlier to be a whopping 550 cals! So having a sandwich for a "light dinner" after a big meal at lunchtime isn't always going to be a good idea!
Dinner tonight was a chicken tonight (classic chasseur) with added chicken, bacon and mushrooms, served with mashed potato. This was only about 450 calories! I am hoping to keep this up for a week or two, and hope that by then my eating will have fallen into a sensible routine and I will be used to eating sensibly!
