    Start by logging your food accurately this way you will get to know what's good and what's not so good. Out all you stars in MFP and let it calculate your calorie intake. Good luck I'm sure you will soon get the hang of this.

    good advice, particularly with the calories used up from drinking - I need to add the skinny lattes ones or just have normal coffee!! and add calories from milk intake for coffee. It is the little things you forget that add up to slower loss
