So you are basically doing over 1 hr of cardio per day? That is way too much and also burning your muscle up as well as your fat

. Keep in mind that if you are losing 1-2 lbs a week then you are at an optimal pace. Anything more then that and you are doing something wrong and losing valuable muscle. This is why it is so important to not let yourself get fat because it can take a long long time to get trim again. Unfortunatly you cannot build muscle while you are losing fat. In order to lose weight, you need to be taking in less calories then you use per day, and to build muscle you need to take in more calories per day. You can only retain the muscle you have by a proper diet (tons of protein) and a better cardio routine then what you are doing now. Go here and read about HIIT (high intensity interval training): http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp

*Edit: Remember, losing weight is 70% nutrition and 30% exercise. Concentrate on your eating habits asap, then the exercise combined with that will have you shedding off that lard in no time
