you need veggies in your diet and more fruit - 5-8 servings a day
to optimize metabolism - eat every 2-3 hours (5-6 small meals a day)
with that thing you are not gona lose weight - it builds muscle
the only fat burning exercise is cardio - 4-6 times a week for 30-50min and combine it with light weight training

Ab lounge? you mean the uncomfortable lawn chair that wiggles back and forth, doing nothing but making your neck sore?
I have an ab lounge...and it is a waste of money. It is now in the shed. Don't bother. Do sit ups and walk on a treadmill...much more effective.
The diet sounds alright, but wow, I would get tired of tuna fish REALLY quick.
Try the Rotation Diet. Buy the book at a Barnes and Noble, or Books a Million. I lost over a pound a day. Amazing.
But, Ab lounge BITES. Sorry.

Go to this web site to see what others say about the ab lounge.

If I knew your BMR I could get you a very accurate guess. Your diet looks like it is under 1000 kcal a day. That's kinda harsh. 1200 kcal would be better, especially when you are working out. Also try swift walking, not running, just walking.
You have to cut or burn 3500 calories to loose a pound. Either by dieting or exercise or both. Your BMR will give you a figure that you can use to calculate how much energy you will burn just to stay alive. Based on your age, and size. You can take that figure and see what you do on a daily basis.
BMR is calculated by:
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Calculator:
Women: BMR = (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Take this result and multiply it by your activity level (known as the Harris-Benedict equation):
Sedentary: (little or no exercise): BMR x 1.2
Light activity: (moderate exercise or sports 1 to 3 days per week): BMR x 1.375
Moderate activity: (moderate exercise or sports 3 to 5 days per week): BMR x 1.55
Very active: (hard exercise or sports 6 to 7 days per week): BMR x 1.725
Extremely active: (very hard exercise or sports and a physical job, activity or training 2 times per day): BMR x 1.9
Note: If you are overweight, this equation may overestimate the calories you require, so you should use a weight that is halfway between your current weight and your goal weight. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds and want to weigh 150 pounds, use 175 pounds in this formula, and then adjust it as you lose weight.

that is an unanwserable question due to the fact everybody is different and weight loss will depend on your metabolism. how much you excercise and if there is a reason for being overweight IE: such as thyroid disease.
the diet looks good use lowfat milk on your cereal and light mayo in your tuna,
instead of bread try bagels or english muffins

You can't lose weight just working your abs! You have to do cardio along with your dieting and ab workout.
www.sparkpeople.com is an awesome site for people wanting to lose weight. I don't even know how to begin telling you how great this site is, definitely check it out!

Its not the "weight" that you will lose, its probably your going to "tighten up", with the work out your going to be doing, and making that "fat" into mucle, so that you wont "see" any weight loss.
Dont be discouraged, you will be toning up, so that your muscles will work more effienctly, and you will burn more "fat" in the process!
I wish you well..
