Like Tree said, light weight high reps are not going to cause you to loose weight.
The routine will build your muscular endurance - causing your muscles to become a little stronger, not increase in size but be able to handle resistance over a longer period of time.
You loose weight by spending more calories than you consume.
You spend more calories by adding cardio and high rep resistance training (rather than low rep, heavy weight strength training).
You reduce your caloric intake by not eating until you are stuffed and by eating healthier foods that are lower in calories.
