There are some good choices here but some bad choices too. Also, where is the protein? The only proteins I see are hot wings and yogurt, overall not very good sources. What I can see are bad are the potato chips, hot wings, and the whole wheat bun with spread (take a close look at the ingredients of the bun, if there are tons of ingredients the product is highly processed).
First of all, all meals should be centered around the protein, especially if you're trying to lose weight. This doesn't mean necessarily having excess protein but definitely more than is presently there. You have some good veggie choices but not much else in the way of complex carbs or fats. Consider adding whole oatmeal for breakfast, egg whites and a little cheese, whole fruit instead of fruit juice, have the whole baked potato with only a little salt and pepper (no other toppings), 86 the wings and go with a boneless/skinless chicken breast, add some other meats like tuna, salmon, lean beef, lean pork, etc., and think about complex carbs like brown rice, beans, barley, sweet potatoes, etc..
Remember also that you do no want to go below your BMR. The BMR, or basal metabolic rate, is the number of calories used per day by the body for autonomic functions like breathing, heart beat, blood circulation, digestion, eyes blinking, etc.. Going below the BMR forces the body to reduce the metabolism and will slip it into starvation mode, basically catabolizing lean muscle tissue and retaining bodyfat.
Note the BMR calculator link below is an estimate and will change depending on diet and activity levels.

You have to EAT to lose weight! Losing weight is truly a battle without a little help. It isn
