    Well done, losing 10lb in 6 weeks is incredible!

    Just had a look at your diary - if anything, you could eat a bit more! You seem to do a lot of exercise, so you definitely have plenty of wiggle room for more snacks. Also make sure you do get enough water every day, as I've found that really helps.

    Good luck!

    I would say drink more water, try to eat your protein up. There are days where you are 20-30 short on your protein. Find something you like such as peanut butter, greek yogurt, lower sodium lunch meat, etc. to help increase the protein.

    If you wanted to, you could always make an effort to reduce your processed food intake and eat more natural or less processed foods in your diet.

    Eat more all together. leaving such a huge deficit everyday can counteract your weight loss.

    Your body needs calories to function properly, depriving it of enough calories will only make things worse.

    Well done on the impressive weight loss :D incredible work & dedication :D


    i had a look at your diary and would agree with what others have said. A lot of the time you're having 'low-fat' options..you could up the calories by just switching to regular products :)

    Good Luck x

    Wow! Congratulations on the wonderful results! However, it does not seem like you're eating enough. You want to net AT LEAST 1200 calories a day to maximize weight loss, because without proper fuel your body will not be able to work efficiently. Other than that, well done!
