Chris,
Congrats on deciding to lose the weight. It's a tuff thing to do, but is so worth it.
Just to give you some background, I've lost 48 pounds on a low carb diet. I've been doing 3 workouts a week for the past 5 monts, including treadmill and weights, and feel great. Luckily, I still had my "skinny" clothing in the back of the closet, so I was able to go back to clothes I haven't worn in years. It's a great feeling to lose two pants size, and go from XXL to XL in shirts (I'm 6'4", and weigh 258 now).
Don't be too quick to dismiss any diet. Low carb does work, just like low fat works, just like low calorie works. I found low carb to be easiest, because I never felt hungry. I simply changed my bad eating habits (too many sweets, too much starch), and the weight came off.
I would encourage you to do your own research on which diet to chose. Consult your doctor, and see what they recommend. My doctor put me on the low carb diet, and has been excited about my results. I felt better knowing that the doctor who knows my health chose the diet for me.
Most important, you need to look upon this not as a temporary diet, but as a lifestyle change. If after losing the weight you go right back to your old eating habits, your going to regain the weight. Keep that in mind when chosing your program. Chose something you can maintain.
And I agree, John Stone is my hero. I can see changes in my body, but to have it documented that well is great. I wish I had that 6pack he's developed!
Now, go get 'em, Chris!
