Re: WILL THIS MAKE ME LOSE WEIGHT?
Hello Michaela, good to speak to you 
.
Firstly I am not going to judge as such, but what I will say is that 6 stone is too light for you and I think you would be better aiming for 8 stone.
112lbs, will be better than being 84lbs, as being 84lbs when you were 3-4 years older and a bit taller could make you look a bit waifish and possibly look like a borderline anorexic and I'm not saying this to sound harsh, but if I didn't care I wouldn't say it and I want you to know that.
As for the exercise routine, you're not really giving your body a chance to rest. I would modify it in this way.

This gives you two days off per week, but doesn't keep them on consecutive days, but you're still getting the pilates and swimming in there, so no compromise needed on those.
You could be flexible about this if you wanted to, by swapping either the monday or tuesday spinning class for pilaties if you wanted to.
As for the fruits and veggies if you don't like them you could perhaps consider juicing them and then having the juice drink with some kind of meat.
Alternatively you can mingle something like mini-corn cobs into a stir-fry as a way to get veggies, or small amounts of finely chopped carrot and onion into things like minced beef, or finely chopped onion into home made meat patties you can grill or fry.
You would probably like mashed pototo, which is a veggie so you could do the finely chopped onion and / or carrot thing, mingling one or both of those into mashed potato, so you're gettign ideas now where veggies can be incorporated without necessarily being overpowering in temrs of taste and texture, as I find something like onion can be not great for taste and texture if it's in large slivers, because it has a commanding taste, so approximately half by half centimetre square sized bits would be fine for me, to possibly add some flavour by compliment, not complicate the taste and so I couldn't feel too much of the crunch in mouth.
There's ways there to get some veggies perhaps.
I'll assume legumes like peas, beans, lentils and peanuts are okay for you, or at least some are, unless you have an allergy to salic acid and can't digest most legumes and veggies properly.
With peas you've obviously got the main ones like split peas, mange tout, garden and marrowfats, so you've got choice and I personally prefer marrowfats as I find the garden type peas a bit bland and as soft in texture.
In terms of fruits jucing again works; or turning tomatos into a sauce by heating them into a pan, or you can get tomato soup for that, or baked beans, so you're getting tomato antioxident goodness from the sauce.
You can consume fruit juices, that are not concentrate to get fruit, so you have have those with or between meals.
packed lunches are fine, because you can have things like raw carrot stick, celery sticks, boield eggs, pre-cooked chicken breasts, beef, turkey, ham and chicken from a packet, oat granolas, low fat cheese, sandwiches, yoghurt, nuts, peanuts, flaxseeds, tofu, so you've got pre-cooked or cold options there although some of those will be partial options not complete snacks, but you should be able to identify those and you can have those kind of snacks between meals as well.
As for the meal plan, you might be eating too much carb, so removed the toast and consider addning more eggs in and keeping the cereal. You coul add a small portion of something like low carb nuts, so not groundnuts, cashews chestnuts or coconuts, or maybe some flaxseeds in your cereal.
Dinner seems fine.
Hopefully all this stuff makes sense.
I want you to live a healthy life, but because I care I couldn't say it was okay to get down to 6 stone, as I don't believe that and I think 8 stone is more reasonable, as it could be maintainable by the time you're 21, so you shouldn't necessarily gain more over the next few years, when you're at 8 stone.
I want you to proud of tying to look after yourself beause you should be and I want to tell you that I'm proud of you too for this and we do want to support people like you, so if you have any other questions or need anymore advice please let us know and please do keep us updated won't you as we really like to hear how people get on.
GOOD LUCK and best wishes
