okay. so i'm 5'4 and a half, 145lbs. i want to weigh 130lbs by September or sooner. i was thinking of a low-fat, healthy diet with 5 nights of excersise.
my diet plan is this:
breakfast- oatmeal, bannana + yogurt, water.
OR english muffin, bannana + yogurt, water.
OR Instand Breakfast Smoothie (instand breakfast mix, bannana, nonfat yogurt, milk, + ice)
snack- watermelon, or some fruit.
lunch- slimfast bar and carrots.
snack- pretzals, veggies, or fruit
dinner- chicken with rice and corn
OR Lean Cousine, Healthy Choice.
what foods should i avoid?
cheese? or what?
do you think i can do it if i eat that and work out for an hour 5x a week? (link)

Well, some of your food choices are either too many calories, or too few calories to lose that much in a month, which frankly is a very unhealthy goal. You may lose the weight, but it may make you sick to lose it that quick, and you may gain all of it back plus some if you try to lose it that quick.
For breakfast, instead of eating all of that, try drinking a fruit or veggie smoothie instead of instant oatmeal or an instant breakfast smoothie. It will be less calories consumed with more food in your stomach. You can mix in the banana, nonfat yogurt, strawberries and mainly any kind of fruit or veggie you would like, some skim or soy milk and some ice. If you don't like skim or soy milk, it's still okay to drink them in the smoothie, because you can't taste the difference if you had just used regular milk.
For a snack, watermelon would be a good choice because it is, in fact, healthy, but it may leave you hungry soon after eating it which may cause you to pig out later. Instead try celery with peanut butter. The peanut butter has protein which will keep you feeling fuller and give you more energy. Or you could have some cantaloupe, nonfat yogurt, a granola bar, or pretzels.
For lunch, definitely do not eat a slimfast bar or drink a slimfast drink. If you look on the back, you will see that the bars and the drinks have more calories in that one little portion than if you had eaten a sub from subway, but it doesn't leave you feeling full for very long and it will cause you to be having hunger pains before dinner.
For dinner, chicken would be a good choice if it's boiled or baked. Try to avoid fried chicken because the grease adds extra calories. Again, with the lean cuisine and healthy choice meals, it's the same thing as the slimfast meals. More calories with less food.
But try to mix it up between days to get all the things you need in your body. Google different healthy meal ideas for more info.
