your plan sounds pretty strict and is probably something that would work for you, just remember that to lose weight you must get your metabolism raised. The way to do that is to gain muscle (everywhere) and increase your
heart rate when exercising. When you exercise it is important that in essence you are keeping it hard to complete. You could walk 50 miles a day but if you don't break the pace of a stroll you will not challenge your muscles, especially your heart, and your
body will learn to make it easier for yourself and that is when plateaus start happening. I would recommend doing different types of exercise everyday. Try starting out with a fast paced walk, then add in some jogging the next workout, then try doing some running or almost sprinting mixed with walking (sprint intervals are good to do for 30 to 90 seconds at a time, then another day try walking up and down stairs, then try doing jumping jacks, jumping rope, mountain climbers, and running in place as your
cardio workout. As far as
weights go just do the usual stuff, but do it in a different way for each workout. One day do bench press, squats, tricep extensions, and leg extensions; the next day do chest flys, lunges, bicep curls, and stiff leg dead lifts. Be sure to keep your form perfect when you lift
weights, also to lose
fat the less you rest the more you will challenge yourself and keep your
heart rate raised. Lastly, remember that adequate rest is important to letting your muscles recover. If your muscles can not recover they will not receive the full benefit of the work you did. I would recommend working out at most five days a week and give each muscle group you weight train two days of rest before working out again. Any more questions feel free to ask, but all of this information comes straight from Jillian Michaels book "Winning by Losing" which I would obviously highly recommend, and have seen great results from using it myself. Good luck and have fun!
