Let the experiance of weight loss come to you and as it comes and becomes a lifestyle, you will see that you are learning more on your own.

Starting off with 60 minutes of cardio a day isn't going overboard? I have to disagree with you on this one, Sickofit is very motivated, but he also mentioned that he is concerned for his health and when one is concerned about their health to the point in which they think they are in danger of developing things mentioned below,I don't think starting off with cardio to that extent is a wise choice, I would advise you to focus more on diet and take it easy with the cardio until you get a little bit lighter, perhaps get an ok from a doctor if you think things are that bad.

If 60 minutes isn't that much cardio what are we going to do when he platues as far as losing weight? add 15 minutes? that would be an insane amount of cardio on a daily basis. Combine that with weight lifting and I see overtraining. I've dieting several times in the past and I've never done anything over 30 minutes a day (and no not HIIT), I personally hate cardio, I make sure my diet is in order and the weight falls off. Plus I have no problem conserving the muscle I've worked so hard to develope
