Starting my Weightloss Plan, and putting it in writing

My goals from Dr Phil's Weightloss Challenge:

As of January 2009:
Waist to hip ratio: 0.9
Weight right now- 174 lbs
Goal weight- 155

What do I want to achieve?
- I would like to lose 29 lbs. Then I would like to maintain it between 155-160 lbs.

What will I do to achieve my goals?
For now:

-Limit junk food to 1-2x a week
-exercise at least 3 hours a week
-Eat Slower
-Drink 4 glasses of water a day (about 8 C)
-moderate fruit, and more veggies

When I lose weight, I want to feel...
Comfortable. Sexy. In control of my eating. Lighter and more energetic. I want to be intimate with my husband and not worry about my body. Be comfortable in my clothes. Not have to try to suck in my belly all the time. I was to feel good in my clothes, and have them fit well.

I want to lose 2 lbs/week
Feb - 6lbs
March - 6lbs
April - 6 lbs
May -6lbs

I would like to reach my goal by April 2009.
