Right now I'm trying to do 3 days of cardio and 2 days of weight training (ultimately trying to lose around 20 pounds).
So far pretty much all the weight training schedules I've seen around atleast 3 days (some as many as 5).
Should I swap my schedule and be doing 3 days of weight training and 2 of cardio? Again, my ultimate goal is to lose weight.

Thank you very much for this data Chris, I've been looking for a lifting guide to augment my cardio, and you provided a nice one.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

That's an interesting site, thanks Chris!
@Josh - whenever I find myself lifting less than 3X/week I generally do a full body workout those 2X. It takes a little longer, but provides more potential variation and is a lot of fun. Circuit training works for this as well, and is a great option if you're just starting out.

I've been interested in losing weight and gaining muscle here at traineo since late 2007. Its not until mid 2008 that i've actually started my training routine 5 days a week. Trying to get to under 19% body fat.

I'm a personal trainer from New York. I love helping people get fit. I work out with a friend 4/5 times a week. Having that accountability makes all the difference in the world. Most of my time is spent on PhysicalFitnet.com - a website that I founded and am really proud of. So far its a cool exercise video library of 800 demonstrations done by other trainers also wanting to help spread the word (or video) on fitness info.
