First of all ditch the drugs. They won't do anything for you.
Next, I think your plan is way overdoing it on exercise. Check out the stickies in the exercise forum, especially the one called "The Conceptual Side of Weight Lifting" by Steve.
A good solid full body weight routine 3x a week, supplemented by cardio in the "off" days will be a lot more effective. IF you overwork yourself, you can in fact go backwards and screw up your progress, as well as damage your health.

Kara is right - you'll do much better with LESS than what you've prescribed for yourself. Why? #1, you're going to burn out. #2, you need the cardio first. Personally, I believe in home fitness programs ... from what you've said, there's a program called Slim in Six that would be good for you. But, I like using your own body weight more than machines. I would use light weights with higher reps and do total body moves - don't just do a bicep curl, do it with a lunge or dip. That will work upper and lower at the same time, which burns more calories, and works your core as well, which is equally important. I would also scale back the calories to under 1500 a day. Use Michi's ladder - lots of fresh veggies and fruit, with protein, some fats, no heavy carbs. LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!
