Not at all, for people in decent shape I can see it being too low volume, but it's pretty easy to add Dips / Rows / Barbell Curls as desired and as you can handle it.
OP -> Do a full-body workout 3x a week, it doesn't matter which, just make sure it includes Squats, Pull-ups, and Bench (and I'd say the Press too). Add in a few arm exercises if you want and if you can handle it.
Do as much cardio as you can stand, hit the elliptical 5-6x a week and do it for an hour, you'll still need to diet, but it'll burn an extra 600-700 calories and give you some breathing room if you make some diet mistakes or need the occasional burger.
Figure out what you burn each day and eat 500 less than what you'd need to maintain. You have time and there's no need to rush it, if you cut too fast you won't make any strength gains and will end up wearing the emaciated look (not good).
elliptical 5-6x a week, 1 hr each time :O? That sounds like a shitload of elliptical

And I think the easier part of the workout plan has been made up,but its more like a weight thing.. trying to decide how much weight I should start off with
