The most important thing is your diet. You are never going to lose weight unless you take in fewer calories than you are burning off. Exercising burns off calories, but you must make sure that you are eating right.

Do you eat breakfast? Clichés aside, it really is the most important day, especially if you're trying to lose weight, it gets your metabolism going for the day, so that you burn off calories faster. When you aren't eating your metabolism slows, so as soon as you wake up in the morning you need to break your fast (gettit?) to get your body burning off those cals.

I can see that your diet is going to be restrictive, but try and eat three meals a day, and reduce snacking. If, like me, you can't live without snacking, get something decent and low cal to snack on, like a rice cake or fruit. Having pizza once a week is fine, we all need to live a little.
