In order to lose 2lbs a week, you need to lower you calorie intake by about 500 a day, this should not be a problem since you will be doing CV work.

Drink some water! It is essential to re-hydrate yourself. Drink little during your workout, but lots during the day. When you are done with the first part of the CV, do some weight training. If you stick with Cardio, you will just shrink. For weight loss, pick medium weights and lift as many times as you can. This also acts as a Detox, and therefore will help strip out the rubbish in your gut!

Diets can be awful! Try to understand that you have to eat at least 4 times a day! Food can take up to 12 hours just to digest! YES, this does include the horrible takeaways, McDonalds, etcSo what you want to do is Detox your system. We are going to feed your body every 3 hours! This is easy to do!

Cut out the drinks, and treat yourself every once in a while. Do NOT use the Atkins diet, this will hurt your body.

Stick with a high protein diet, as it will help build muscle and aid in retaining what you burn during cardio. Try to have all of your carbs before Midday, this will supply you with enough for the day. Try to cut out fatty products, bread and sugar.

Cut down to Skimmed milk instead of full. Don't use butter, use no more than 5g of oil if you are frying or replace it with a little water.

Eat as much fruit as you want, even though this is a carb, they are mostly water and will go right through you!!

For meals, stick with Chicken, Turkey, White Fish, Tuna and other non-carb food. Eat plenty of lettuce as it helps flush out the stomach.

Loads of water!! This will keep the muscles full. Get yourself some multi-vitamins and finally a good protein shake, I would recommend Weider's Muscle Builder.

All of this is a basis to loosing weight. Remember to start off slow and then gradually work harder. For the weights, use them as 1 day = 2 body parts!

This way your body will heal quicker and the next time you come to training it you should find some gains.

Best of luck, and keep us posted! We are here to help so feel free to ask ok.
