If you could, please take a look at my diary and see if I should change up anything or keep doing what I'm doing. My MFP goal is set for losing a pound a week.

Based on your weight from your ticker and your goal of losing about a pound a week, I think your diary looks great!
In fact, I kind of want to copy your heavy use of spinach to increase my potassium intake which is often too low. You are also doing well with limiting sodium which is my other problem area. Overall I see lots of healthy well balanced foods in your diary. Keep up the great work!
Good job keeping protein levels high to help protect your muscle mass while on a deficit. What is your workout routine?
If I have one regret from last year when I was losing weight quickly it would that I did not start lifting sooner and as a result lost more muscle mass than I needed to. I am making up for this now, but it would have been easier if I consumed plenty of protein last fall and lifted at the same time during my period of a large caloric deficit.0 -
Is there a reason that you are tracking cholesterol?0

@ Sara
Weight: 193
Goal: 175-180
BF: Not sure. I should look into getting it checked
Age: 38
Mostly doing cardio with either eliptical or treadmill. Do body weight exercises every other day for now. Outside gym, pretty sedintary. From noon to 8 I am stuck at a desk.
@ Minimalist Sodium and potassium took some work but got it dialed in. Spinach is an easy fix for potassium.
@ Fire_Rock I am watching cholesterol because the last few years my HDL and LDL have been out of whack. Admittingly I was pretty much living off fast food or junk food in general.0 -

Usually a pound a week but there was two weeks that I lost 2 pounds.0 -
I'm no expert, but it looks good to me. I think our diet is sort of similar, short of all the supplements.0
