also.. begun a 'calorie deficit' program using an iphone app - myfitnesspal.

and am trying to limit to 1600 calories per day which so far is working.

so... after almost 2 weeks, I've lost about 1.5lbs... I'm wondering if I can lose it quicker switching to weights and reducing the cardio to 20mins walking at 3.5.
I m in the same boat as you but I started a month earlier than you
I did Elliptical, bike, also light weight training (mostly lower body ab, lower back, legs) and some squats.
I've lost around 7lb (drop from 157-150)in a month

diet for weight losing is important. and i believe most supplements have its own side effects

remember workout progressively. don't workout too much if you haven't workout for awhile

also stay hydrate during cardio and weight training.
