How does that diet and exercise plan sound?? Do you think I'll be able to lose 7 pounds by the 23rd?

you need complex carbs for breakfast (e.g. old fashioned oatmeal, whole wheat bread)
you also need protein for dinner
and more veggies

Okay, first of all... you need a more nutrient dense breakfast than that. You need something that will set the tone for the rest of your day. Your body will burn that fruit and yogurt up so fast that you'll be hungry way before lunch time. Try a high fiber and protein breakfast, like oatmeal and eggs, or shredded wheat and turkey bacon.
You need to eat smarter. You want to limit your intake of junk food not healthy foods. Follow the food guide pyramid to learn about portion sizes. And eat more vegetables! Fruit is good, but veggies are the best. They have more minerals and they clean toxins from your GI tract.
You need energy in order to burn energy. Carbs = energy. You don't want to break down protein (your body's building blocks) running almost everyday. Oh you'll lose weight that way, but eventually your body will shut down and you will get sick.
Drink plenty of water. Water is a natural detoxifier.

are you trying to fit in a dress or something? bc if thats the case, i think you should just worry about losing inches. i'm on a diet too and have been on a strict one for exactly 1 week now and my body is sooooooo toned now.. hard to believe but it is. but the thing is... i havent lost a pound!... i've lost inches everywhere to where i don't have much fat anymore... but i do think your plan will work =)... maybe put in a few snacks between meals and you're good to go... i know i put more info then u need but i'm soo happy that i lost soo many inches that the scale or the pounds dont phase me =)

Yes it does sound pretty good, between your meals if you find your self hungry. eat a healthy nutrigrain bar or fruit bar. also between meals dont drink anything but water. it will flush out your system helping you lose weight
