Just a note: don't completely cut fat out of your diet. You need good healthy fats to keep your system running (think flax oil, olive oil) and to help you lose weight--otherwise you will plateau sooner rather than later as your body will start hanging on to fat. Don't cut your diet down so much that you force yourself into "starvation" mode. Your body will attempt to hang on to everything it has if it perceives it is being "starved."
Diet and exercise is best done in moderation over a long period of time in the interest of long-term weight loss. Otherwise, you're more likely to slip back into your unhealthy patterns once all the weight is lost and you switch to maintenance.
One tip: use a diet/exercise monitoring program, if you aren't already. I use DietPower. I've found it to be quite helpful in keeping track of my calorie intake/nutrition/exercise.
Good luck.
