Weight training & Cardio to lose 30 lbs....?


I've been doing 45-60 minutes of cardio and 45-60 minutes of weight training daily. I am currently 5'9" and 170. FEMALE. Trying to lose weight from a pregnancy 7 MONTHS AGO ! LOL I've started working out every night cardio and weight training. My intake is about 2000 calories a day. I think I burn off about 1000 during my workout. No breaks but a whole lot of water. Is it possible for me to drop 20-30 lbs in two months with a daily workout routine like this. I really enjoy going to the gym. And eating healthy is second nature to me. I have 10lbs before I reach my prepregnancy weight. I cant fit into my pants before the baby. They come up mid thigh thats it. At 160, I look pretty average... not the least bit chunky but would like to be 150 just in case.... If I stick to my workout routine and my eating habits..... can I reach my goal????? I was 115 almost 7 years ago ... and I NEVER want to be that skinny again. Just 150. THANKS A BUNCH YALL!

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca... This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

It seems that you are very much on target. Just remember to give yourself some rest days so that you do not burn yourself out. It is during the rest days that your body recovers and improves.

Here is a sample workout and info about fat loss.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, and Medifast.

Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://thebestcleansingdiet.com
