Hi. Here are a few points:-
1) In the first week of any dietary change, there can be up to 5lbs of glycogen & water weight change. Ignore this. After the first week on a cutting diet, your weight will fall at a lower rate. Do you know your bodyfat percentage?
2) How much mackerel is there in your salad? Your omega-3 intake may be insufficient. See http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/m_2695743/mpage_1/tm.htm#2698563 for various options.
Please note: women need half the amount of linseed & flaxseed oil mentioned in this post (due to having double the conversion efficiency compared to men).

Doesnt seem like your getting a lot of protein there mate, instead of the babybel try something like a tin of tuna or chicken breast with some veg. On tuesday your going from 12.30 - 8.30 with no protein just 1 apples inbetween, you need protein in each meal, so at 2.30 and 6 have something again like chicken or tuna
