I think you have a good idea with the diet. I usually stick with the same foods for my meals everyday too. But after a week it gets really tiring. I'll give you some more options.

Breakfast:
3 lowfat turkey links
1 cup skim milk
1 slice of 80-100 cal bread
1 Tbsp reduced fat peanut butter

Lunch:
1 piece of fruit
Salad with as many greens and other veggies as possible
Low fat dressing
add chicken or turkey

Dinner:
Fish, chicken or turkey (just one)
broccoli, spinach, or another green veggy
serving of cous-cous (kind of like rice)

In between meals snack on green veggies or a piece of fruit. Make sure everything is portioned per serving the first week. Then just eye it if you think you can.
Also, it is really important to eat a big breakfast filled with protein. I recommend eating 20 grams of protein per meal if not more. Protein is your friend!

(oh I think you should cut cheese out of your diet. It just sticks to your insides for a long time.)

As for exercise, I think you can do better. Adding more strength training will speed up your metabolism. And if you want to loose fat quickly cardio is the best. Try walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then job, then work your way to running. You might be walking for the first week but try speeding up your pace.. you can always slow your pace if it seems too much.

Hope this helps!
