Weight Loss Goal

The goal:
I will lose a minimum of 30 pounds through diet and exercise.  I am currently at around 108 pounds.  I want to be 75 -80 pounds which is my idea weight according to this site: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

Eating specifics:
The method I will use for the weight loss is a combination of a low carb diet, and exercise.  I am not following any specific weight loss program or plan.  I just plan to change my eating habits to reflect no more than 20 net carbs per day as Lynn Terry discusses on her website: Low Carb Traveler.
A big part of this plan involves me giving up Mtn Dew, which I love and drink several cans of each day, and replacing that with at least half my body weight in water per day.  I got the half your body weight thing from a website I was reading, if I find it again, I'll link it. I currently drink almost no water.  
The second hurdle is that I LOVE carbs: potatoes, pasta, bread, all of it.  Giving these up will be difficult, but if it makes me look and feel better, it will be worth it.

Exercise specifics:
I am setting my goal at 30-45 minutes of exercise 3 times a week, but I am going to try for 6 times a week.  3 times a week walking in the local mall, 3 times a week on Wii Fit.

I will give a weigh in at the start of my diet (Tuesday 1/3/12) and once a week after that.  I will post daily reporting on my food and exercise since the previous post.
