    I try and stick to my daily goals and eat back half of my exercise calories.
    I do eat rubbish/junk but try and restrict that to once a week. If I do then I will add extra to my runs (kind of punishment).

    Yeh see what happens over a few weeks, I didn't lose any weight for 2 weeks in a row, even being under my daily calorie intake, but have lost inches and have developed some serious thigh and calf muscles.

    Weigh yourself in another week or two and then see the results (dont worry about this weigh in).
    you are a sensible guy have i seen you somewhere before lol:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    What should I be eating and what should I be cutting out then?

    Please I value the info :smile:

    Hi, just had a look at your diary. What jumps out firstly is the biscuits - do you really need 5? Obviously you're having a decent lunch and dinner but not really breakfast most of the time - I'd suggest having a more filling breakfast might help stop the snacking.

    I assume this is a long term plan with a lifestyle change attached so obviously doing things too quickly, like cutting out too many goodies, is more likely to lead to quitting. However, reducing the amount of biscuits / cakes you eat should help, along with increasing the amount of water you drink (not the bottled one you've had - if you don't like tap, buy a water filter), along with an increase in exercise should help you lose the weight.

    Good luck!

    Try drinking more water

    Change your diary settings to show fibre, sodium and sugar, processed food contains alot of sodium which equals water retention.

    Try going for a breakfast cereal which has a higher fibre content

    Don't eat back all your exercise calories, trying eating half of them back. I find MFP tends to over estimate calories burned. Unless you have a bodybug (heart rate monitor) which accurately calculates your calories burned for you, you may actually be over eating
