and then i was planning on working out for an hour a day, which would include, running/tredmill for forty minutes, 50 jumping jacks, "core" excersises like crunches, and then Lifting weights.

How fast will i see Results?
Even if I don't loose the EXACT weight i want, I want to at least have a waist line of 34inches. Its 39 right now.

Think I can do it?
and How healthy is that for me?

Any Feedback will be appreicated. and if there's any veggie dinners that can be added for different days, that would be awesome.

THANK YOU.

How fast will results happen? It depends on how your metabolism reacts. You will likely lose some right away and then your body will "plateau" and the loss will stop but don't give up, because during that time your body will build muscle which will help you lose more weight faster later on.

As for your diet. I would mix it up with more vegetables, like broccoli, spinach, corn, and a couple times a week I would infuse some good proteins in there too like nuts & beans.
