Where is the strength training? Less cardio more lifting.

23 pounds in a little more than a month? Unlikely - unrealistic.

Got to agree, you need to do less cardio and get some strength training in there! Also mix it up a bit!

You're looking to lose over four pounds a week? No. It's unhealthy.

I'm a little concerned about your goal of losing 23 lbs in a month. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 175. I'll be lucky if I hit 170 by late May.

Setting a goal of 23lbs is setting yourself up for disappointment. It's not IMPOSSIBLE, but it's highly unlikely. Mix strength training and moderate cardio, track your calories religiously, and set a reasonable goal of 1-2 pounds a week.
