How realistic are weight loss success stories?
The answer depends on the source. Some stories are genuinely true, while others may leave out important facts or exaggerate them. Specific to "real results" shown on television (and other media including the Internet), there is nearly always a disclaimer (in the US, at least) stating that these results are not typical. You may interpret this to mean that the results shown are what they want you to see as possible, but they can't lawfully guarantee it (without losing a lot of money on refunds).
Does strength training lower blood pressure and cholesterol?
Yes, but only indirectly. In fact, during strength training, your blood pressure may temporarily rise.
What will lower your blood pressure and cholesterol is losing body fat. Since muscle burns many more calories than fat, one of the best ways to lose weight is to increase your muscle mass (lean muscle tissue). The best way to do that is by strength training. You can prove this to yourself by losing 10 or 20 pounds of body fat and getting your levels retested.
(This does not mean that you need to lose 10 or 20 pounds of body weight! If you lose 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle, your body weight will be the same but your blood pressure and cholesterol levels will decrease.)

Is it possible to lose 3 pounds a week by running a mile every day?
The much more important concern is: Is it healthy to lose 3 pounds a week by any means at all? The worst thing you can do is lose weight quickly, and then put on more than you lost. This is not just a cliche; it is a know risk factor for some health issues. Lose slowly and reasonably. Check out the program "I Can Make You Thin", on television. I don't recall the name of the guy who developed the program. It is a very common sense and relatively stress-free approach to eating and losing weight. Always check with your primary care physician before doing anything to lose or gain weight.
It's all well and good when you first see the pounds melting off when you engage in a drastic weight lossprogram. You don't realize at first what you are doing to your metabolism, and what you are driving your body to do in order to survive. Then, when you begin to lose control and gain weight back, you regret that unreasonably fast weight loss-- but by then it's too late. Avoid yo-yo dieting. Under some conditions, it may even be relatively healthier to remain a little overweight than to yo-yo and make yourself very sick.

Yea, you can. I've had a lot of unhealthy habits, but I've lost up to 10lbs in a week (never gained it back either btw). Not good for you at all, but it's possible. Very very bad for you, but still.. it's possible.

How do you get biceps and triceps fast?
You don't. It takes months and, usually, years of intense training of the right kind in addition to sufficient nutrition and rest. It's best to stimulate upper arm muscular development by training hard on the basic compound exercises, namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Once you get your major muscle groups growing, you can do some specialized work for your triceps and biceps at the end of your whole body workouts.
Realize, though, that you may not have the genetic potential to have 20" arms. Some people do, but some people don't. You won't know until you try. Furthermore, you do have the genetic potential to increase the size and strength of your upper arms, and that's what you should aim to do.

Why cant you lose belly fat through weight training?
Weight training tones and builds muscle. It is not a calorie-burning exercise. Although abdominal exercise may offer better muscle tone , and thus straighter posture and sticking your belly out less, that does not actually burn belly fat.
To lose belly fat you must burn extra calories through aerobic exercise. If you are breathing normally and still a little short of breath, and your heart rate is elevated, THAT is aerobic exercise. Some types of aerobic exercise are jogging, swimming, bicycle-riding, rowing, even using a jump-rope. To be useful, you must keep your heart rate elevated for a minimum of 20 minutes.
For Example:
When first starting out when you haven't done a particular exercise before, speed up and slow down (such as jogging 10 seconds, walking for 50 seconds) to work in gradually. For a novice, this will still result in an elevated heart rate, and will lessen the risk of injury. After several 20 minute sessions, increase slightly the amount of aerobic exercise (such as jog 20 seconds, walk 40 seconds).
