then chances are you'll do ok with that sort of program. Looking at your log though, the two times you've posted your nutrition, two treats have come up - the frappucino and the dark chocolate. Not sure how often you treat yourself, but if you did it daily for around 200 cals, that'd be close to half a pound added at the end of the week. Just a thought.
Excellent point, but both of these were within my calorie range. I've done much better this week with calories than last, but you're right that these little things can add up!

I guess I am still working out how many calories I need to eat to lose fat. I averaged 1600 a day last week when I was targeting 1500 and lost 1.2. I really need to get to 1500. Leigh's program would have me at 1350! Gah!
