You're trying to lose too much, too fast. This diet/excercise plan cannot work and here's why:
Every pound you lose is 3500 calories. So that means if you cut out intake of 3500 calories a day or work it off in the gym, you'll lose 1 pound. The average American eats 2000 calories a day. But what you are trying to do is lose a pound a day, so you'd have to either eat nothing and work off 3500 calories (which WILL kill you) or eat the 2000 calories then work off 5500 calories which isn't possible (you'd be too tired after burning 1000 calories if you haven't done that much excercise before).
Start with a more modest goal, 2 pounds a week (which is still a lot), and do the diet and excercise and see how it goes. This way you're only working off 1000 calories a day, which is more achievable. If that works try burning more calories for more weight loss.
And remember, losing weight is tough and keeping it off us tougher. It's worth it, but it won't totally change you life.
I plan to lose 7 pounds a week
