I've been running about 2.5 miles and I've been doing this for two days and I plan on making it a five times a week routine. I've been consuming about 1300 calories. Doing somewhere around 100-200 sitsups everyday and some light weight lifting. I've been doing this for two days now. My question is do you think this will get the weight off? is there anything else I should consider?

You are waisting your time doing 100-200 sit ups. 2 sets of 12 done properly (2 seconds on the way down and 4 seconds on the way up) is plenty. Up your calories to 1800 (healthy food) as you need the food/fuel to supply you with energy. 1300 calories is NOT enough, thats almost starvation if you exercise! Consider a training program from here on ft for a full body workout at the gym or at home. You should see results within days. Hope this helps. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada
