| Horrible. If you do that diet, not only will you not lose weight, but you'll just give up.
Read the faqs on what to eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and just eating fruits and veggies will do nothing for you. Eat oatmeal, or eggs. Try to aim for at least 4-5 meals per day. I was the same way as you, but eating the right thing is more important than eating nothing. Remember, salad and fruits are NOT good things to eat alone. I don't know why every time someone is on a "diet" they pull out salads and fruits... it's almost ironic because one would imagine they'd be healthy but they're not... just go to a restaurant and look at the largest of people... nearly all large women orders salad, and all large men usually order something with lettuce in it.
As for losing 10-20 pounds by August 8th... impossible unless you starve yourself to death. Remember, don't think about "August 8th" think "20 years from now." In 20 years will you be able to maintain what you're doing today? Probably not. You can lose 2-3 pounds per week, with a 5-6 pounds initial drop for the first few months.
As for your exercise.. you don't need to do anything fancy. Just run (keep your hr up), walk instead of taking short cuts, and just lift things around the house. Exercise alone won't make you lose anything with a diet like yours, but you can change that tomorrow.
Good luck and come back often with your progress.
