Ok, I have an audition coming up in October and need to lose as much weight as possible without killing myself ;P
I'm going to be following the tranining plan here (with the optional abdominal focus training) I have yet to read the nutrition information, but I don't know if this will really burn the weight fast or if I should be doing something else...
This will be an audition for a television show (American Idol) and I really want to look my best for that...
I'm currently about 80-90lbs over my ideal weight and obviously I couldn't lose that in this time, but I want to lose as much as possible, because obviously the show is very "image" centered (reuben stoddard excepted) :)
I really think my singing will speak for itself, but the extra benefit of looking better can only help :)

welcome to FT. You will "lean out" the quickest by building muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat. To build muscle, follow the routine you picked and lift heavy as you can.
Your diet is the most crucial thing in building muscle and burning fat.Try eating 5 or 6 small meals a day. Incorporate this with your lifting and cardio plan and your body will burn the fat.
Look at the grocerylist for body builders in the nutritional section and build your diet based on the nutritional guidelines given on the site. Ask loads of questions and do this for the long run rather than a quick fix.
There's lots of support here in the moral respect as well as in the nuts and bolt of how to. Ask away and good luck.

Thanks, i'm planning on the long run, but also want to get a somewhat "Quick Fix" for this audition too :) I'll check the list you mentioned... oh and I should have said I'm looking to lose my stomach, not weight, I don't care if I weight the same or more, as long as I look good :p

Diet will be key. You can't spot reduce. Fat is a vicious wild animal that comes off where and when it sees fit. If you win the Idol, will you preform on my boat dock for me and a few close friends??

I have a feeling the life of any of the "idols" will be pretty busy for a while... would I be willing, sure I would love to sing just about anywhere, anytime :)... would I have the time... we'd have to see ;) That's of course, assuming I even get in.
Though my voice coach has gotten several folks to the top 35 over the years, and she said I was better than them when I came to her, and I've improved since :) Way to stroke the ego eh? :)
