Weight Loss Training and Diet good enough?

Hello, a while back I posted a question about how to lose weight, I am slowly losing but surely. I just wanted to check with any health nuts or guru's on how my training and diet are.
Training
Jog: Not very long but I keep a fast pace.
Weight Training: Home Gym: I lift 4 weights that are pretty heavy, I do 2 sets of 20, then work on my calfs and legs with the leg attachment. I do 1 set of 10 lifts on my legs. Then I do 20 sit ups for 3 times and 5 pushups 2 times

Diet:
Breakfast: Usually some rye toast with cheese on it and a banana or apple with some water or juice.
Lunch: Usually a banana, some fruit snacks, a sandwhich and a granola bar.
Supper: *Usually I slip up after I come home from school by chowing down on Dorito's I came home today and ate 3 chips before deciding to change and I went out for a jog. But for supper, usually all the foodgroups.

Yay or nay? Help me make changes so I can lose weight and eventually work on my abdomin and reach that six pack!!!!!!!!!!!

I have started an extreme weight loss diet and am producing abnormal amounts of diarrhea, why is this?

i eat cereal(mini wheats), protein bar and yogurt for breakfast. i eat a clif bar and yogurt for lunch. i eat a protein bat, yogurt and a small bowl of mixed fruit for dinner. in between all meals i occasionally snack on carrots. what is wrong with my diet, and is it normal to be getting extreme diarrhea once a day??? i also run 2 miles a day and do some weights.
does diarrhea contain the body fat i lost? i am averaging a pound a day lost in body fat. i use i body composition meter so i know i am loosing body fat, not just muscle mass. i am in fact gaining muscle mass with my workout.

What is a successfully weight loss/diet plan I can follow?

I'm not "majorly overweight," but I really need to loose about 20 pounds by sometime next year. If anybody has a successful plan or story, I'd be happy to hear about it and maybe it could help me:) I know that you have to lift weights to burn fat and eat 6 meals a day to boost your metabolism, but I'm just not sure "what" weight lifting exercises I should be doing and "what" foods I should be eating.
Thanks:)

P90X and diet Weight Loss Plan? A little Extreme But need feedback?

Background: I am 17 years old,5 feet 9 inches, a male. I weigh 244 pounds. I am basically obese, but at the same time you can consider me as being much more athletic than a different person of my size (I can lift weights, at one point benching 250 pounds (from 130 to 250 in a year before I quit); run fast but not too much stamina, although when i jog/pace i can run 5 miles). My framework, I guess you can say that I'm big and have a lot of girth (width).

Goal: Is to get anywhere between 150 and 170 without compromising muscle, or in other words, shape the muscle that I already may have and ASAP (before summer - 3-4 months)

Diet: My plan for at least 90 days is to follow an interesting article I found (although no scholarly or endorsed if you want to call it, article still seems promising. It says an average person following this diet alone would lose approximately 20 kgs (44 pounds)) which kind of rotates meals and the nutrition a person may take in: For example,
Day 1: Protein Day
Day 2: Starch Day
Day 3: Carbohydrate Day
Day 4: Fruit Day
Day 5: Water Day
Breakfast fruit everyday except Day 5, Lunch and supper are the same and concentrate on what they require for that particular day.
For better details,
http://www.dietforum.com/N-90Days-Diet.htm

OR, I can decide to eat Smart Start Cereal with 2% milk 3-5 times a day (my friend has done the smart start breakfast and ran 6 miles a day, he lost 70 pounds in a month and a half but regained all the weight back in 2 years). My plan is to to switch to a healthy eating lifestyle even when I lose all the weight so I'm not sure if I should starve myself like him.

Exercise plan: I have a program called P90X. It's a very rigorous exercise program which lasts for 90 days and involves differentiation and changes its exercise focus everyday so one doesn't get used to it and keeps on building their body at a fast rate. I'm sure there may be skeptics but there is not a single review (that I found) in which a person tries the program and says its bad (I've tried it myself for a couple of days, and it really is intense)
This is NOT fake, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXkCBYEWm8k
P90X is a very good program and a very very rigorous program as well and I plan on using that for its 90 day program. The guy in the video seems to a on a similar note as me when he started, but I weigh approximately 20 pounds more than him

Also, I plan on running 1-2 mile(s) along with the program anywhere between 7-13 minutes per mile depending on whether I jog or run.

1 pound=3500 calories
My plan is to eat between 1200-1500 calories MAX everyday and when working out everyday, I expect to burn 4000 calories a day (includes calories burned without exercise, like digesting or sleeping). So my calorie deficit should be 2500 calories everyday, so in 90 days or 3 months time I should be around 170-175 pounds.

Here are some of the websites I used:

Feedback is greatly appreciated! This is very important for me! Thanks a lot in advance, and I hope to get some good feedback.
=)
I forgot to add along with the diet.

I plan on drinking a whole lot of water. Approximately 2-3 liters a day

Also, I'm thinking about taking V8 equal to 3 servings of vegetables
And, as a natural cleanser, fresh pineapple and cilantro juice from a blender

Thanks!

Im a fifteen year old girl – question about weight loss?

Well, not really weight loss, but what should I do to get a toned body? I usually do cardio every day (30 mins of running/brisk walking and 30 mins biking) but what exercises can I do to build muscle. Preferably without much gym equipment (but I do have weights).
Thank you!
Also, do you have any other tips on losing weight? Like what to really avoid and lunch/snack ideas?
