Should I make any changes to my plan?

I'm female, 5'4 & 143 pounds. My goal is to lose about 30-35 pounds. My plan WAS to eat 1,000 calories a day and walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes, twice a day, 5 days a week. After reading more about weight loss today, I decided to find out my BMR and TDEE. My BMR is about 1300 and my TDEE is about 1800 (when I put exercise as 3x a week). I also think I might be working myself too hard right from the beginning since I never exercised regularly before this. So, my plan right now is to eat 1300 calories a day, and start out with 35 minutes on the treadmill, 3 days a week and doing some strength exercises a few times a week. I'd also like to work up to an hour of treadmill, 5 days a week eventually.

If I'm not mistaken, this should mean I lose about a pound a week, right?
