Mr. Sok asked in HealthDiet & Fitness · 1 decade ago

Can anybody help me come up with a weight loss/getting in shape plan?

I'm 15 years old, 5'9'', 175 lbs. Not huge, but a little chubby, little bit of a belly, noticeable on my face, but most noticeable is the manboob area when I wear smaller shirts. School starts in about 5 weeks, and I hear it's safe to lose about 2 pounds a week. So my goal for school is 165, and my end goal is 150ish, unless I start muscle training too in which I don't really care about the number just looks. I plan on eating 6 small meals a day, running as much as I possibly can every day, and lifting weights one day, pushups/situps/pullups/etc. the next, then weights, and so on and so forth. Any other tips? Like what size weights I should start with, how many reps/sets, etc.? :D
