Confused over carbs and sugar from fruit

Hi
My aim is weight loss, I would like to lose 1.5lb a week to start with. I have been keeping my food diary and was pleased to find that if I cut out chocolate, too much bread and biscuits, my carbs, protein and fat seem to be at a healthy balance most days and I am around the correct calorie intake. I have been replacing these with fruit to make sure I have enough calories. So I added fiber and sugar to my diary stats and the sugar shoots through the roof for fruits.

Today I had 150g cherries and it sent my carbs and sugar sky high, as though I had eaten chocolate biscuits but without the calories. So I'm OK with my calories but high with the sugar and sometimes fiber. Should I not eat the fruit I thought was was healthy?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
