1) Since you're young and getting a lot of exercise, you can get away to a degree with eating poorly. But you'll do better if you eat well. I'm big on pop being the invisible enemy, because you can down 1000 calories worth a day without even thinking of it.
2) That's a lot to lose, quickly. I think that most diets recommend 1.5 pounds a week as the max fat loss you should try for. Over 2 months at that rate you should have lost about 12 pounds. Of course you could also have lost several pounds of water weight and such, so when you factor that in you're not too much over the conventional limit.
6) I'm not one of those people who say carbs are bad, and you are burning them so you need the energy. But I prefer complex carbs without so much sugar. Doesn't goose your blood sugar as much, metabolizes more slowly for more energy over time, stays with you longer so you need to eat less. I'd switch from Wheat Chex to oatmeal, were I you.
YMMV, of course.
