Weight Loss- Am I On the Right Track?

My calorie goal is 1560 per day (without any exercise).
I joined a gym.
Firstly, I must say that I had a terrible sleep last time, my body is tired, but I still went to the gym.
Exercise:
10 minutes on stationary bike --> 149 calories
5 minutes on eliptical --> 50 calories
11 minutes on treadmill (walking) --> 100 calories
Two 10 minute walks around the neighbourhood --> 180 calories
Some strength training (an ab machine, weights, leg raises -- i got tired, so I don't know if I did a full set in a row but I got tired and continued when I felt like i could)
Walking up and down a flight of stairs a few times
Food:
Breakfast- 1 cup of Liberte Greek Yogurt and a banana
Lunch- 3 small white pitas
, 1 falafel ball, a chicken skewer, a cup of rice and a small salad
Dinner- salad
Usually, I will be eating a way smaller lunch… But is this really terrible for wanting to lose weight?
People think that I'm trolling- I'm not. I really am just uneducated on this kind of thing.
Here is a photo of me:

Breads are really something you will want to eat very sparingly if you want to lose weight. So I'd skip the pitas if you can0

Your calorie goal seems low for your gender and age and your exercise burns seem inflated to me.
These are three really great posts that I think anyone new to the boards should read:

Over-estimated.10 minutes on stationary bike --> 149 calories
Over-estimated.5 minutes on eliptical --> 50 calories
Way over-estimated.11 minutes on treadmill (walking) --> 100 calories
You need to be cutting those numbers in half, at least, if not more.0 -
Diannethegeek posted some very good links, you should read those before you start to do anything. Especially regarding your food intake.0

Says who? I eat bread all the time and have had no problem losing weight. Bread in yummy. It's Calories In Vs. Calories Out and it really doesn't matter what you eat to get your calories if you trying to lose weight (Calories In < Calories Out)0 -

Why? I eat bread every day and my ticker is my friend
Moderation and accountability are what matters, there are no bad foods. Listening to the mainstream line of thought on here a Med diet would be the worst, while I don't see obesity being related to any type of healthy diet0
