There is nothing wrong with eating yo baby yogurt -- it beats a lot of other things that she could be eating.  I am going to assume that she eats something other than yogurt -- probably just not that much other than yogurt.  My 3 year old is pretty similar, she only eats cheese/yogurt, hot dogs, broccoli, pasta, french fries/tater tots, chicken nuggets, fruit, marshmallows, and ice cream.  We have her taking vitamins and drinking whole milk so she's actually not that skinny/malnourished looking (I'm sure the ice cream is helping fatten her up).

Somethings I have tried over the years to get her to eat different things -- 
1.  Greek yogurt -- she also developed a fondness for yo baby when her little brother was eating yogurt.  We got her the greek yogurt marketed to kids -- she really liked it for a while.  She also really liked the tubes of yogurt (Go gurt).  
2.  Greek Yogurt ice cream -- I thought this would be gross, but she really like it.
3.  Mixing things in with the yogurt -- oatmeal for example.  Sounded gross to me, but she liked it.
4.  Giving her kid foods/things that have more sugar/chocolate than you would like:  Kids cereal for example (lucky charms is a big hit in our house), chicken nuggets and french fries, mac and cheese
5.  Changing the marketing of the food:  My daughter really likes it when I put her food in a divided plate with little portions of everything.[/quote]
