I weigh 185 and im 6 feet tall. Im getting a membership at the local rec center and I just need some tips on what works fast cuz the sooner the better and a motivative talk would help too cuz i seriously lack that. Does my diet really matter a whole lot if im excersising everyday and how often should I exersise?????

You may want to cut out white carbs, and especialy the chips. Way to much bad fat and bad carbs. Try to eat more whole grain products and veggies. Up your protien intake also. Protien is the basic and prime body builder. And don't forget, drink lots of H2o -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.

Why not go for heavy weights for 3-4 months, eat a ton of protein, slow carbs and good fat and then cut for 2-3 months, more cardio, moderate weights (more reps) and cut down your total carb and calorie intake....

You get cut then you've got to perpetuate your habits.

Cut, Gain, Cut, Gain, Cut... eventually with sometime you'll become a pretty big muscular guy with good muscle definition! but u gotta be patient, results dont come overnight, think in the long run. im assuming ur still young as i am.
