I dont care how much weight is on the scale too much, cause i know there are many many other factors, i used to be 179lbs and 20% body fat, so the scale doesnt say everything! (ive bee nreading these boards for a couple years). My problem well i want to lose body fat, get toned, even if mybodycomp says 14% i really dont look good in jeans at all. I need advice for diet (maintenance after is different), Im planning on doing weights 3-4 times and cardio 3 times a week. Is this good? My real question is about calories and proteins. I read different things everywhere, and I would like some personalized advice if anyone wants to bother. Thank u :) its my birthday be nice :P

If you've been reading these boards for a couple of years you should have a fair idea about what you need to do. You said "I'm planning on doing weights....." which says you haven't done anything yet to get to where you want. Your goals are obtainable but you have to work some to get there. If I'm off base I apologize but it's awful easy to procrastinate. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
