    Yes as long as youre eating above 1200kcal a day net.

    That would depend on your stats...

    Depends. If you're small and/or older it may be too fast.

    Well done, as long as you're doing it sensibly.

    Is this rate of loss in line with what you set MFP? Assuming you are not doing this aggressively and unhealthy, sure.

    It's been 6 weeks now and I've lost 10 pounds overall!

    My stats are:
    - 6'0 29 year old male
    - Current weight is 216.0
    - Starting weight was 226.0 in mid-September
    - My body fat went down from 26.3% and is currently 24.0%.

    My goal weight is 200 Ibs (but I might go lower to 190 Ibs depending how I look at 200 Ibs).

    I do a bootcamp workout 3x a week. I'm thinking about increasing it to 4x-5x a week now.

    I eat around 1800-1900 cals a day doing a 35-30-35 ratio (Protein:Fat:Carbs).
