Yeah, pop is terrible for people trying to cut fat. It's canned sugar, really, and gets converted to fat almost instantly. I'm told that sugar also helps you retain water, which you don't want if you're looking to look shredded.
I do live in the Desert but my body all ready adaptive to the Desert conditions. I do not even start sweating tell it hits at lest 100F-110F (37.7C to 43.3C)

My trainer always tells folks, if you have to drink soda, make it DIET COKE; which is good for me seeing Im addicted to the stuff. Something else that will tone you in no time is swimming. My goal every week is 50-60 laps in 30 minutes 4 days a week.
I know a fat ass I used to work with who weights 400 lbs and drinks 17 total cans of regular Coke and Sunkist a day.
That said, Im trying to shed some weight I put on after hip surgery so Im off to do a hour and a half of cardio right now.

Nice job so far!!
To get from where you are now to where you want to be (six pack), is going to require very healthy eating almost 100% of the time.
Challenge yourself to two weeks of cutting out all processed sugars and carbs (no sweets, no soda, no chips, no white bread/rice, no alcohol) and focus on eating a LOT of fresh veggies (steamed or raw), brown rice and whole grains, lean meats (chicken breast), lowfat cottage cheese (no carbs, all protein) and fresh fruit and nuts. Here's a sample day's diet:
Wake-up: Protein powder with water or milk (about 35g protein)
Breakfast: 5-minute cook oatmeal (McCann's from Trader Joe's is great - has no added sugar) with a banana, blueberries, walnuts and cinnamon. (Do NOT use flavored instant oatmeal!)
Mid-morning snack: 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup almonds, 2 tbsp sunflower seeds, 2 tbsp flax seed oil (for omega-3 fatty acids)
Lunch: Chicken breast, brocolli, brown rice
3 p.m. snack: Apple slices with almond butter
Dinner: Mixture of steamed leafy greens (kale, chard, spinach, etc.) steamed beet slices, steamed yam slices, cottage cheese
Before bed or after workout: 35 g protein powder with water
This is just a sample but I think it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about. There is pretty much nothing in this sample diet that has sugar added to it, and there are no empty carbs either. If you can manage to eat like this for two weeks and keep up with strong cardio and abs strength work, you will see a difference AND you'll have a LOT more energy than ever before. Once you get rid of sugar and work out more, you crave sugar less and crave working out even more. Eating like this does take time and work, but if you want the six pack, you've got to put in the effort.
Having a "cheat meal" once a week where you eat anything you want for one meal will give you something to look forward to and work toward during the week, and will keep you from going crazy with all this boringly healthy food! (It works for me at least!)
Good luck!!

Killer diet plan, Buzzrider.
It is always good to try and figure out what your Base Metabolic Rate is. This will give you an idea of how many calories you are burning without doing any exercise at all. Then, based on your exercise level, you can figure out what more or less you should take in based on your goals.

Naah.
Probably closer to 1600, without exercise.
(Maybe what you wrote was a typo.)
Your BMR is what you burn without exercise, btw.
