Okay you health nuts, am I doing this right?!
Question: I exercise 6 days a week. The first thing I do is jog in the treadmill for 15 mins. Then I strech (my favorite part :)) Then I do my exercises x12 reps. Which includes, my trideps, biceps, abs, thigh, back thigh, pectorals, and back. In between each set I pedal on the stationary bike for 3 mins.
I eat approx 1000-1200 Cals per day and I always take a multi-vitamin . And I consume a bunch of water. Will I loose a lot of weight if I keep on doing a routine like this?
I want to loose about 30-40 Ibs.

The trick to a good workout routine is to change it constantly. Doing x12 reps at first is good, but once your body gets used to it you will plateau. Instead, do x12 reps for the first couple weeks, and either increase or decrease the reps and the weight.
You may wish to lower the amount of time you are on the treadmill from 15 minutes to 5 to 7 minutes. If you are on the treadmill to warm up than once you are warmed up you need to stop.
Listen to your body and your stomach when it comes to eating. If you eat too few calories a day you will get sluggish and you will become unmotivated. If you are hungry eat, just don't overeat. The trick is to let your body decide how much to eat. 1000-1200 isn't a lot and you will get tired quickly if you eat so few calories.
Finally, cardio is good for losing weight, when combined with a strength building routine. You don't have a lot of cardio in your routine. If you would like you can add 30 minutes of cardio, but I suggest you do it at a different time of day than the routine you have listed, if at all possible. About a month ago, I changed my routine and moved my cardio exercise to the night time when I get off work. It has really helped.
Make sure you give yourself plenty of rest, because that is when you will see your results.
definitely. But I would suggest more cardio in your excerise routine.
I think you need to bump your calories up a bit (to 1400-1500 calories) and add more cardio.
yes and you will also develope a very healthy heart and a good routine if you keep doing this even after you lose the weight cause youll stay healthy so dont stop try to get friends involved
If you can actually eat that few calories, I would say that you definently will lose weight and fast. Just don't starve yourself or your body will only add the weight back on.
You got all the big muscle groups it looks like. But I assume when you say "thigh," and "back thigh" that you means you isolate quads and hamstrings. This means are probably doing leg extentions and leg curls is my guess. A much more effective leg exercise would combine the quad (front thigh), hamstring (back thigh), glut (butt), and calves into one. Try doing squats. Depending on how much you can squat you should either hold a dumbell to your chest or you could use a barbell on your shoulders.
Make sure when you do cardio you are getting your heartrate up, not just going for an easy stroll.
