Fat Burning Questions - 40 Pounds Over Weight & Need To Lose

Question:
I have put on a lot of weight over the past 2 years (about 44 lbs). I started 6 weeks ago taking 45 min walks and have now started a home fitness program with my own equipment as follows (in circuts)

• 100/75/100 steps (step machine)
  
• 10/5/5/ kms bike (indoor bike)
  
• 100/50/50 bag punches broken up into a circuit that lasts 45mins

How long will it take to lose 44 lbs? I drink 1 liter of water at the session and more afterwards but no bloated. I have a bad sweet tooth and its the hardest thing to control in my diet along with bad sleeping patterns. I also have haemocromatosis (iron overload) but have had my iron reduced to below normal levels with venesection every 2 weeks for 1.6 years. Am I doing the right thing if I am iron deficient now? Does it effect my oxygen take-up?

I highly recommend contacting physician or registered dietitian for you issues with haemocromatosis Your training routine looks fine. Remember that your diet is crucial for eliminating this adipose tissue (body fat) from your body. You need to eat the right foods in order to shed the unwanted fat.
