Getting More Intense

Well, I survived five weeks of circuit training an hour a day 5x a week, and getting in other cardio as I can.  Now things will increase for the next month, to trying to get at least 30 minutes of cardio daily plus the 5hrs a week of strength training.  I have only lost 9 pounds in 5 weeks, which I know is not bad, but given the amount of effort it takes, seems paltry!!!
