Thanks for the help. Thought of a few more, if anyone wants to take a shot at them-
As a random question, I can think of two reasons that weight training might help cutting. First is that it will "tell" your body to use the calories you put in it differently. The other thing I can think of would be that it would prevent you from losing muscle instead of fat. Is it either/both of these, or am I completely off?

Believe it or not, if your diet isnt right, lifting while in a calorie deficit will definately put you in a state of catabolism (muscle wasting). Make sure your pre and post workout shakes are in order.

Also, what is a healthy rate of weight loss? I've heard two pounds a week max, is that too much? I'd like to cut as quickly as possible (so I can go back to eating ), but don't want to screw it up.

Well its 2lbs a week for fat loss, anything more then that is going to be muslce loss, water, glycogen storage low.
