Ok - I am 17 (currently don't know what I weigh, I am picking up some bathroom scales tomorrow) and I really dislike the way I look at present. After reading what a few people have said in other posts on this forum, I have concluded that it would be best for me to shed the fat that I do have until I am happy with my bodyfat percentage before I begin to bulk and add muscle.
Here is what I look like at the moment:
Now, if anyone would like to hazard a guess at my bodyfat percentage then please do as it would be nice to know
After weighing myself tomorrow I will hopefully be able to come up with some form of diet. I am thinking of possibly cutting to 2000 calories for about a week and then dropping to 1500 calories to see if I can lose the weight. I have also included my training plan that I aim to follow (below) but as I am not very experienced with lifting I am guessing that there are some things that could be improved in there.
Training Plan
With the excercises on that plan, I aim to perform them with a low weight but I think I need to increase my reps - I am unsure really of what to do to just lose weight. Obviously it would be nice to build muscle too but I am pretty sure that this is not possible and that it's a one or another situation. Hopefully, by sticking to the plan and some construtive criticism and advice from you guys, this will be the start of a new me and given time and massive determination, hopefully I can begin to see those abs sometime in the future and in a few years - maybe I can help some other poor old sod who wants to change
