My day
My average day, foodwise, consists of this: 2 pieces of wheat toast, cheese cubes, and coffee (breakfast.). Half peanut butter sandwhich, sunchips, granola (lunch). Chips and salsa (snack), Lean Cuisine veggie frozen meal (dinner). I drink a bottle and a half of water a day and treadmill for 30 minutes.
Any tips for changes I can make to lose 10 pounds quick? Healthy.

30 minutes on the treadmill every day will help you out a lot. That's a great plan. Don't overdo it though. Take a day off per week and take it slow or rest if you need to in the beginning. Set goals for yourself. Try increasing your speed over a span of a few weeks. :)
Don't worry about your diet so much. Don't plan out such a strict menu. That isn't healthy at all. If you are working out for 30 minutes each day, you will need more energy. It doesn't look like you are eating very much. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be able to make it on just a half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. Eat the regular amount of food. Don't diet. Just eat healthy. Healthy eating will help you just as much as dieting will, probably more. If you're confused, healthy eating basically means that you avoid overeating and foods that are bad for you. You don't have to eat less and you don't have to eat foods that are overly good for you.
Dieting, unless you are working with a doctor or dietician, is generally useless. People that are dieting on their own tend to eat less food and have very little variety, which is what it seems you are planning on doing. They'll lose some weight only to gain it back again. They become obsessed with the number of pounds that they weigh instead of how they look. It's even worse if you want to lose weight quickly. The bottom line is that you can't lose weight quickly. It takes some time so be patient about it.
The exercise will help you lose 10 pounds on its own if you aren't too small to begin with and if you are dedicated. Don't get obsessed with how much food you are eating and what you are eating. Don't get obsessed with the number on the scale. Don't even think about it. My advice for you is to throw that scale away. Look in the mirror instead. Be proud when you put on a pair of pants and they are too loose. That's what you want. 10 pounds means nothing. Exercise will tone your body and help you lose fat. You will gain muscle from it, which may not decrease your weight. If you are obsessed with how much you weigh, you'll completely lose sight of your actual goal (look good by getting smaller) and completely overdo it. You could potentially get smaller and look better without loosing any weight at all. You would probably lose some though of course. :)
I wish you the best of luck! If you want professional advice, message the columnist MikeCFT. :)

Well you have a great plan :)
But i think you should eat different foods but if you really dont want to then dont! Because they are all healthy.
You should do about 50-100 curl ups/push ups a day or do aerobics/yoga/pilates etc...!
That Lean Cuisine might not be too healthy for you only because its a frozen meal but I have never tried them so I really wouldnt know :)
Good Luck!!

Replace the sunchips and chips and salsa with something healthier. The rest of your meal plan looks good--you might try low-fat cheese if you're not already, but having the cheese in general is a good idea.
You should be having more milk. Contrary to popular belief, it can help you lose weight. A cup of skim milk is only 90 calories.
Try incorporating more fruits and veggies into your diet. Apples, bananas, melons, etc. are all good if you're craving sweets. Carrot sticks, celery, cucumber sticks, anything crunchy is good if you want something to munch on. Even salad dressing is okay if it's low-fat; Kraft makes an Italian dressing with only 5 calories per tablespoon.
You might also try replacing the coffee with orange juice or apple juice. It's healthier for you, especially if you put a lot of cream and sugar in your coffee. Besides, fruit is supposed to wake you up just as well as coffee.
But these have to be lifestyle changes, or you'll just gain all the weight back. And unfortunately, you can't do things too quickly, or again, you'll just gain it all back.
You might enjoy varying your exercise routine, too. Thirty minutes on a treadmill every day can get very boring! Take a walk around the block, play a game of badminton with a friend, even lift some weights. Change it up, and you'll also change which muscles you're working.
I am very pleased to see that you want to do this the healthy way. That's absolutely essential. Good luck.

okay, cut back on the chips and salsa. your not really eating anything bad for you which is good. so basically, just replace some of the junk food your eating now with healthy stuff (go fruit :) ) and you should be fine with the tredmill thing your doing now.
try doing crunches and drink water. lots and lots of water.

hey, well your not having a variety at all. thats totally bad for you. you cant have the same exact stuff everyday. the treadmill is good. do crunches and other excerizes to tone yourself up. maybe join a gym with a friend. by bringing a friend, theres more motivation because you dont want to look weak in front of your friend.

Drink a least a bottle more of water a day, and skip the cheese for breakfast. And when you run, wear a hoody and like sweats, they will let you sweat more, making you loose more weight. HOPE I HELPED!
