I have started a diet this week.I have tried to lose weight many times but can never stick to a plan. I am eating 6 times a day.I start out drinking a glass of water followed by a breakfast of Fiber One cereal w/skim milk-2 cups of coffee with sweet and low. In about 2-3 hours I have a snack, either string cheese or 8 grapes. After 2-3 hours I have lunch which usually consists of 3 tsp of peanut butter and1 tsp of jelly on whole grain bread (which Ihave discovered I love!) and maybe some grapes or a couple of strawberries. In the afternoon I try to have some more fruit, like an apple or orange or strawberries. For dinner I usually have whatever the family is having but I keep my portion down to one serving of anything. For example,one night we had burritos but I measured the meat carefully and used whole grain tortillas. My dinner with 2 burritos was only about 500 calories. My calorie target is1300 and I can in below that. Can I lose weight quickly like this?

I am eating different fruits and veggies for dinner. The string cheeseI have has only 2.5 grams of fat and 70 calories. I have this for calcium.

Yeah that sounds really good and organized, but if you want to see more results faster, then just do and hours cardio everyday or go walking! I hope this helps and keep up the good work!

You got meals down wright but you need veggies in your diet - from recommended 5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day only 3-4 can be fruit the rest have to be veggies. Too much fruit is not good for your body because fructose the same way as alcohol is digested in kidneys and put a lot of stress on them.
And try aiming for a bit more protein as well.
Are you doing cardio? To achieve faster results you have to do cardio 4-6 times a week for average of 45min.

That sounds real good. Moderation is a good at least 2/3rds of it.
