I've had no problem losing just by cutting out refined sugars, flours, rice, corn, potatoes, etc. I still have an occasional piece of whole grain toast (slathered with butter or peanut butter) or fruit. I would say I eat between 40-80 carbs a day, but they all come from fruits, veggies, and whole grains. I lose very, very slowly and gradually, but since I don't have much to lose I'm okay with that. I'm sure I'd lose quicker if I were to limit my carbs more, but I would probably also end up binging on junk foods now and then too. Since you don't have much to lose, you could definitely try this approach, as long as you have the patience for it.
