hope you understand kul69 becuase i really dont like when you said "You'll just end up looking like every other cracked out tweaker chick who appears to have just woke up in a trash can and spent the day scratching themselves".
Yeah, sorry.. I just think it's kind of sad when someone wants to lose weight so bad they'll destroy their bodies to do so. I really was just stating a fact which was that if you focus on a "stimulant" exercise program you're not going to look good in the end and you're not going to be healthy either. I don't have anything against people who use meth.
There are some pretty basic things to know about losing weight.
You need to eat less calories than you're using every day. This one is pretty well known. However, what most people don't understand is that starving yourself is counter-productive.
You want to aim for 10-12x your weight in calories. So, if you weigh 150 pounds you should go for around 1650 calories a day. This number is slightly under what you would require to maintain your weight but it isn't starving yourself.
People think if they just stop eating or eat like 1/2 of the required calories they need they'll lose weight faster. The truth is that your body will think you're in a survival situation and it won't burn your fat off it will start burning muscle instead. Eventually you will lose weight but you'll look like some poor starving kid in a third world country. Not the beautiful person you want to be.
Also, you can't just cut your calorie intake a bit below what's needed and then sit around all day doing nothing. You need to exercise and build muscle because the more muscle mass you have the higher your metabolism will be.
I'd also suggest that you work out right when you wake up because then your metabolism will be elevated for the entire day. There are also other things like eating 5-6 meals a day instead of 3 so you have a steady intake of calories rather than spreading them out.

You really need to listen to the pros when it comes to stuff like not starving yourself and eating the right meals coupled with the right exercise plan.
Here's a good webpage that illustrates this point and has more tips and info. This is where I found the link to the previous page I linked as well. He highly recommended it.

Look at 8/6/2004 when he actually starts smiling. This is exactly when he realized he needed to stop starving himself and trying to cheat and actually listened to all the advice the pros give. You can see once he stopped trying to cheat and not eat enough he started putting on muscle very quick after months of no progress before that.
When he was cheating he lost weight but honestly it looks somewhat sickly and his muscles weren't increasing. You might not be trying to have a body builder physique but it's still true that if you don't starve yourself and you work out correctly you'll lose fat instead of muscle which will add to your metabolism increasing your fat loss plus you'll look better.
