BSBBC - goal to loose 20lbs

    I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the food diary section - I need some guidance on my eating & exercise and from reading all the other fitness logs here this seems a good place to start :)
    I'm female, 5' 2" and weigh 10 1/2 stone/147lbs.
    In the long term I would like to loose about 20lbs and here is what I ate today:
    Breakfast - 2 slices seed bread with a boiled egg, 1/2 banana & some humous. Coffee & milk.
    Lunch - Bowl of carrot & corriander soup & slice of brown bread with humous (I'm addicted!).
    Dinner - breast of chicken, cabbage, corgette & butternut squash mix and a medium potato.
    Snacks throughout the day - grapes, raseberries, natural yogurt & an orange
    Exercise - walked for 1 hour

    This has been a pretty typical day for me since I started the challenge (except I usually have chicken or tuna with salad for lunch) and my measurements have not changed. I have lost about 7lbs, which is great but this is just water as I gained about 7lbs over Paddys & Easter weekends!

    So any advise would be great, especially in relation to protein drinks (slender pro) - should I add one of these and ditch the bread :confused:

    Cheers!!

    Mmm, things have gone down hill since I started keeping track of what I am eating but I am assured I will benefit in the long run!

    Breakfast: bowl of mixed fruit (melon, grapes & pineapple), porridge with low fat milk, Coffee & milk (at work)
    Mid morning - a banana
    Lunch - Wholemeal pitta bread with chicken & salad - lettuce, tomato, peppers, onion, 1/3 avocado raw carrot & a few peanuts in a little light mayo.
    Afternoon - hot chocolate :mad:
    Dinner - Breast of chicken with 4 baby potatoes & veg - peppers, onions and tomatoes, a cracker & green tea (currently drinking)

    Might have another piece of fruit later too.

    Ok, haven't been keeping track lately but here's todays food & exercise:

    B/fast - 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices wholemeal toast, 1/4 avocado & coffee with l/f milk
    Lunch - 2 plain crackers, 1 rice cake with cottage cheese, glendisk natural yougurt, 7/8 almonds, 3/4 dried pruns, an orange
    Dinner - breast of chicken, 4 baby potatoes & salad with a little oil dressing (rocket, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, beans, olives & 1/4 avocado)
    Snacks throughout the day - bowl of fruit (melon, pineapple, grapes, a pear), 2 green teas, tea with l/f milk & a snack sized chocolate bar - Sunday night blues but way better than the 3/4 bars I used to eat ;)

    Exercise - walked for 1 hour
