alright, i have done some research over the past few years and put it into play for a while as far as the correct supliments go and weightlifting etc... i kinda got away from it all together for what ever reason im not going to make excuses because there none!! i am 22 years old and way out of shape i was at 200 pounds for about 5-6 years (from about 2000 to 2005) and i have since then gained about 30 pounds and my muscle mass has gone down the toilet... ive been reading in the forums and to my understanding what i need to do is first lose weight about (30-40 pounds) then thats when i can start hitting the weights hardcore to build myself back up. i am currently taking hydroxycut hardcore i just started it about a week ago and i also have my own gym pretty much with a complete weight set and a nice smith machine combined with the cables pec dec etc, and select tech dumbells by bowflex as for cardio i have an eliptical machine and a weighted jump rope... with my goal in mind, what would be the best thing for me to do? cut back on my calories to about 1900-2000 a day and would a full body workout routine with weight lifting as well as the eliptcal machine be a good idea?i have muscle milk and NOS BLAST that i currently mix into my daily schedule... any help would be great!!! thanks in advance

You need to cut i.le burn the fat.
Full body workout 3 times a week- Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
30-40 minutes of Cardio 3-4 times a week. Or instead of doing typical cardio you can do HITT sessions (if you don't now what this is, look up HITT on google).
The most important thing is to watch you diet. Eat less than your maintenance, around 500 cals less. I think with 2000 cals you're making a deficit that is too big. That's around 1000-1500 cals from your maintenance I would assume. Since you want to loose a few pounds, you might go with 1000-1500 cals deficit however, don't stick with it too long, because with that kind of a deficit you will lose some muscle as well.
Lower your carb intake, eat more lean protein like chicken or turkey breasts (grilled or broiled), fish. Eat a lot of fresh veggies.
Go for a 40/30/30 ratio of protein/carbs/fat.
Drink the muscle milk as long as it fits into your caloric intake.
Also when you workout drink the muscle milk post workout.
I looked up your product NOS blast, It seems to contain creatine, BCAAs , and caffeine.
I don't think you need creatine at this point.
If you need an energy boost just drink a cup or two of coffee before working out.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, this is very important. Have a big glass of water with every meal, and a carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day. Divide your calories into 5-6 small meals including snacks, etc.
Try to get 230 grams of protein daily.

As Far as your full body workout is concerned, do compound lifts, the big lifts : Bench press, Squat, Deadlift, Military press, pull ups... and add an exercise or two just for your pleasure.. something that you'd like so you'll have fun.. I bet you like curls ;)

Search the internet you can find pretty good full body workout routines

alright thanks!! i know that there are certain times of the day/ night where you have your do's and dont's as far as what you should eat but i am not sure exactly what/when they are i.e.dont eat____ after 7 pm...
 
I really don't think there is anything you "can't" eat after seven, like you said, as long as it fits into your calories. That's my opinion.
But alot of people don't eat carbs that late because you don't need them for energy as you're about to go to bed. Maybe someone else can give you better info on this.
One thing you should eat for sure before you go to bed is some kind of protein. So that you're body doesn't turn to muscle for fuel while you sleep. Casein protein powder is good for this as is cottage cheese.
