(this is a vegetarian Diet)
Workout Plan 3-4x a week:

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
The diet looks pretty good, but you might want to add more protein. I would add some almonds, walnuts to bring up the protein count. Soy milk is also a really really good source of protein (in every glass Silk Soy Milk has 5g of protein). I know you'll be eating cheddar cheese for diary but you might want t oadd into your snacks Dannon Light and Fit yogurt. There's a smaller size that's 40 calories that comes in a pack of 8, or you can get the ones that are 60 calories. They'll help you get the calcium you need with the multivitamin and the cheese. Also I recommend Kashi products for fiber. You're not going to realize it but eating fiber with Kashi products is going to really help you lose weight. I'm a fan of nutrition bars to for 110 calories like Pria bars for a snack. One of the Pria bars comes in a mint chocolate flavor, so at any part of your diet you're craving for chocolate (which I've done in the past) go for those since it'll have added benefits and won't be a total diet sin.
The work out plan looks good too, try doing some weights like bicep curls and tricep curls for your arms, squats and lunges with the crunches and pushups. It'll help you since muscle burns fat.
Also, Self magazine's website has great items for you to look at, like work out plans and dieting advice if you want to look at that.
If you need any other help contact me if you want. I'm on a diet too, so if you need support feel free to contact me. Other than that good luck and I hope this helps you. :) (And congrats on your success so far)

I'm a vegeterian too and last summer I lost the fastest 20 pounds of my life by doing this: (but it made me go into starvation mode and it ruined my metabolism, so i wouldn't reccomend it unless you make CERTAIN that you don't start bingeing on junk food after you've lost the 20 pounds- i gained it back really fast but i could have prevented it if i had been careful!)
b- 4 morningstar farms veggie chicken nuggets and a banana or some other fruit
l- bowl of pasta(it probably had about 2 cups in it) with prego light alfredo sauce
d- at about 3 am (because i sleep so late) i'd stuff some watermelon into my mouth and just go to bed. (still starving, of course)
I didn't eat snacks.
It's REALLY hard, but it got 20 pounds off, so yeah.
After about 2-5 days of following this diet you will never be hungry. i'm not lying.
After you lose the 20 pounds start eating normally. Not overreating, but just eating a normal, healthy diet.
If you don't want to do that- just count EVERY SINGLE CALORIE you consume and make sure it's within the range of 1200-1500.
I hope I helped.

hold off on the ranch salad dressing ..when using a salad dressing dont go for the "white" ones they are usually made with mayo...(bad 4 u) cheese is pretty bad for you when your on a diet but once and a hwile it wont hurtt.....orange juice is good for the morning but through out the day drink a WHOLE lot of water...it helps soooo muchh....it makes you full and it just helps so drink it lol....always hole off on sauce and i know not using sauce sucks so if you must use it lightly....excersizing is great th hardest part is keeping the routine throughout the summer so always have a good mind andthink about how much your gonna benefit from this...and even when you lose 20 pounds keep excersizing or it might come back.....
your plan is good but just cut some things down....dont have a huge meal for each meal even though you think your only haveing 3 meals a day...after your first helping gulp down alot of water and then wait 20 min to see if your still hungry before you go for your second helping....
biking is great if you live near a gym do a spin class ..its amazing you will see results the next day.,..
just remeber dont go into urges.....and if you feel like you might just have to eat something look at your self in front of a mirror and think is that what i want too look like
also remember being too skinny isnt always healthy but i think your plan is a pretty good plan.....

You need more protien in your diet. Yhe cheese is good, but you still need more. You should eat nuts, fish (depending if you're the kind of vegetarian who eats fish or not), or drink soy milk.
