Please help me :(

Hi, I recently turned 18 and am going into my final year in high school. I am around 5'9 and weigh about 150. I decided during the summer that I wanted to get into better shape and I have been running 40 minutes a day and lifting weights (2 sets/20 reps of each machine) 6 days a week for the past month. I have been eating a bowl of cereal and some fruit for breakfast, some fruit and a sandwich for lunch, and a normal dinner. I have been trying to stick to drinking only water and I have also been trying to lay off unneccessary "snacks". I have gone astray a few times and pigged out during the night due to hunger. My question is, is there a weigh to keep the weight off once I lose it (instead of eating less) and is there a weigh to thin done your face? (The rest of my body is average but my face is kind of chubby and it really makes me more less outgoing then I wish I could be.) My goal is to weigh in the 140's and to be confident with how I look. I believe that I will be much more happier with my life if I accomplish this. Thanks for reading!
 
For one, I would suggest eating more frequently(like on average 6 meals a day). These meals would be of moderate size.. Once you get down to your desired weight, you can probably maintain it by keeping a consistant diet. Losing weight and dieting doesn't mean you ahve to be hungry all the time. You can probably get some of your questions answered if you look around these forums a bit. Good luck!
 
I'd also check with someone on your weight training schedule. If you're doing full body (just assuming that since you said each machine) 6 days a week, then that's entirely too much.
 
thanks for the advice, i forgot to mention that i do not want to become "huge" just toned and that I do not lift as much weight as I could on each machine as it would be impossible to do it 6 days a week without severe muscle fatigue. thanks again for your quick responses, i will look more into them :)
 
Ok, if I were you, I would do this:

1. Get "New Rules of Lifting."

2. Do break-in, one A and one B once a week.

3. Take a week off.

4. Do fat loss I.

5. Take a week off.

6. Do fat loss II.

7. Take a week off.

8. Do HGM, first phase, beginner, 3x/week.

9. take 1-2 weeks off.

Assess your results.

repeat from step 2 as necessary.


Put cardio in your non lifting days.
