Is anyone willing to look at my diary and tell me what I'm doing right/wrong? I would appreciate feedback so I can keep losing weight. Thank you!

    There is so much processed stuff in yoru diet. You need to lay off of them and add more fruits and veggies as others have said.

    More Cheetos, Lays and Doritos. I want to see them with every meal. You can do it. You're almost there!

    Not to be repetitive, but too much processed, premade stuff - packed with sodium. Fruits, veggies, proteins keep you fuller longer - also eat MORE! 1200 is too little of calories, especially if you are upping your activity and exercising. You need to fuel your body.

    I didn't see a single thing that didn't come out of a box in your diary. Where's the fruits & veggies? Learn to cook and make something - you'll get a lot more food for the calories and it will taste 100% better than frozen boxed diet meals.

    I don't disagree that eating cleaner would be better than some of your choices, but it shouldn't actually affect fat loss. A lot of the foods you are eating are higher in sodium and that can cause some water retention.

    I went back to June, you were under your calories a lot, I'd recommend being really careful about that and try your best to make sure you eat your calorie goal + exercise calories. Seems like you're doing that now but... yeah.

    Too much processed junk, granola bars, chips etc
    Try this
    Breakfast : eggs or oatmeal (not instant) with fruit
    Lunch: salad with protein
    Dinner: protein and veggies
    Snack: yogurt or cottage cheese, maybe one granola bar if you have to, nuts, fruit
    No Cheetos or frozen meals for a bit. These are ok in a pinch occasionally, but not at every meal. Try protein bar or shake instead of the empty calorie granola bar. Look for high protein, low sugar.
