I'm 5'3 and I weigh 150 pounds. Ive been going to the gym for the past 9 days in a row for 2 hours burning 1000 calories every time i go. I consume about 1000-10200 calories daily also. I don't feel like im seeing as big of a result as i want and i have heard it takes atleast a month. at this rate im going... is this true?? do you think im going to be losing weight? and how much longer til i lose about 20 pounds??

You're way, way off base. You're going to trigger a starvation response that is going to ruin your metabolism, your immune system and your health. Using exercise to burn exactly what you eat is not leaving your body enough energy to even maintain itself. You need to 1. eat more (of the right foods) and 2. exercise less. Be a little more moderate and you will see better results.
