    Yo!

    Looks like an awesome start. Congrats on making the commitment. I think diet matters more than exercise, but of course both are important. If you're serious about losing a lot of weight, you need to take a hard look at what you eat and when you eat.

    As for your plan, I think it's a good start, depending on your current weight and fitness level. But frankly, it looks a little light for your goals. The plan you have is for someone who wants to lose 1 lbs a month...a good, safe number, but I challenge you to go for more. More distance and more intensity. You'll want to build slowly to avoid injury, but I have seen too many friends/family members fail and trying to just walk the weight off. You need to jog, and eventually run, and maybe when appropriate sprint. Get out of breath, sweat and push yourself. If the plan below is intense for you, and makes you sweat, then perfect. If not, then you need to step it up. It won't be as easy, but it will be worth it.
