RE: Diet Time...
Just for the record, I also think you are insane for wanting to lose weight at your size. Your BMI actually should be normal (even though BMI is crap.)
If I were you I'd just join a gym, work out, drink plenty of water, and don't eat junk food. If you do those things, the small amount of fat you may have will quickly melt off as you build muscle. You may actually gain weight. My ideal body weight (not from BMI, I've been at my ideal body weight and rippedbefore)is about 180 and I am 5'11".

RE: Diet Time...
Heres a crappy pic when I was working out. For the heart rate monitor your hands have to be on the I guess "resting bars" instead on the moving stick things.
I am assuming that I am really out of shape since my heart rate was that high! The last time I really really exercised was in track exactly a year ago.
As far as the BMI goes, I think it is more accurate in my case as I dont have all that much muscle i.e I dont weight lift. Anyways, I am trying to lose my beer belly. And I actually have one, im not just saying it! Though it isn't from beer. Probably from stress. I think thats where the majority of my fat is stored because my dad has a belly too, and my legs and arms arent really chubby or anything. In fact a girl next to me in statistics was like "nice belly hahaha" a few days ago so yeah! I usually suck it in when I walk around.
Plan
Vitamin World has a special where once a month, whatever you buy they will give you another of the exact same item for free as long as it it the Vitamin World brand, so I plan on doing that. What should I get besides Whey Protein? How/when should I use it?
I plan on buying one of those ball things 65mm and doing the 12 second sequence work out (on oprah!)
How should I use the Slim Fast Optima I have?
If I were to do the 5 meals a day, what is an appropriate portion size, what should I eat, and what times?
Should I try to lose weight first, and then gain muscle? (Hopefully abs)
Any other advice =

Portion size: if you go for 5 or 6 small meals a day - Each portion of protein, carbs, etc should be about the size of the palm of your hand - example - 4 oz chicken breast and a small baked potato
Protein shakes replace a meal
Eat every 2 hours or so. DO NOT skip breakfast either!
I don't know the nutritional values on the limfast optima, but I imagine you could drink it in replacement of a meal as well.
If you want to build muscle, the best Creatine on the market when I was taking it was called Cell Tech. It works. I believe VitaminWorld made their own brand of it. Just ask them about it when you go. if you get some, mix it with white grape juice and drink it immediately after you lift weights. The grape juice aids your mucles in absorbing the creatine.
Drink the whey protein an hour after you finish your workout. No sooner than that - timing is everything with creatine and protein. I used to take Nitro Tech for my whey protein.It's made by the same people that make Cell Tech.
One thing I have always said about supplements: "If it tastes good it probably doesn't work!"

You know what you should have said back to her after she said "nice belly"?
"Ditto. So how far along are you?"then proceed to rub her belly and say: "Oohh feel those kicks? He's gonna be a soccer player!"

Definitely do not try to lose the weight first, then gain muscle. Every ounce of muscle you gain will begin to burn the fat off on its own.

RE: Diet Time...
The water is also a great idea...ill begin to work on that as well.
As far as the green tea goes, Ill try it. I dont mind green tea and since I dont like coffee (Though i do like coffee stuff like mochas and freeze things) ill have that. I have seen Green Tea pills with and w/o Hoodia, so maybe Ill check those out as well.
Thanks guys! I really want to stick with this.
The 5 meals a day seems pretty inconvienent ecspecially with classes and all that. I shall see though.
Oh yeah I have a bottle of a 2 day diet (lose 5 lbs) what do you guys think about kickstarting my diet with that? Though I would prefer to not be stuck on the toilet all day with the trots.

RE: Diet Time...
Creatin is designed mostly to gain muscle size, typically it helps retain a bunch of water.... Lots of arguments about this stuff but I've used it with good results (for size) however they say that you should rotate on usuage, use it one month, then off it for a month....
Protein is pretty self explanitory, just fuel for the body, helps with weight loss, muscle gain and all around good health...
Heart Rate: if you are monitoring it from the eliptical then I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if it was reading wrong, heart rate monitors on most home machines (even gym ones) are traditionally messed up and misread....
