BBing- some cardio. esp. when diet time comes around.

You don't need to do any form of cardio in order to achieve that goal. However, something like 2-3 days per week is probably fine if you just want to speed up the process a little bit. I highly suggest looking into sprinting or interval training. I love these 2 forms of cardio, but I still do solid state a little bit as well.

The weight loss itself will depend how deeply in caloric deficit you are.

The best way to gauge progress (IMO) is to measure yourself once a week, at the same time of day in a fasted state (ie, sunday morning, upon waking, before breakfast every week). If you are losing fat but keeping muscle the scale wont go down but your waist line and such will. Remeber, muscle is denser. Focus on fat loss, not weight loss.
