buy protein powder and creatine....ands since your a newbie you can lose fat and put on muscle at the same time...so i suggest you do both......

because you need protein to re-build your muscles once you break them down through weight training. most of the protein should come from real foods, but immidietly after your workout yu need fast digesting protein....and the powder is the cheapest, fastest, most effective way.

You could try something radical like going on a diet and doing cardio.

Building muscle will help you loose fat. So concentrate on building muscle with some cardio during the week. Eat healthy no sugars! good carbs no carbs after 7pm! 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight . two servings of glutamine a day

you such a fuckin idiot heracles. creatine helps build muscle by storing extra water in your muscle fibers..... what the fuck does that do too hurt fat loss??? if anything, the extra muscle youll gain from getting stronger from creatine is goig to raise your metabolism...causing more fat loss.

goddamn you stupid son of a bitch i will seriously lay the smack down on your retarded asss....can you smeelllllllllll what CANDIDATE is cooking!!!!!!!! yyyyyyeeeaaaaaahhhhh

True the only weight youll gain from creatine is some water not fat. Creatine is great for helping strength gains and endurance

The first couple of weeks are the hardest, then you'll start adapting to it.

yeah pumpsters right..it will become habit and once it does the fat just melts off.

Write down everything and I mean everything you consume, keep a running daily tab of calories, fat, protein, carbs and fiber. And weigh yourself every day at the same time and write that down too. Eventually, you will start to see what level of calories/fat/carbs you need to lose weight. These are the tools that allow you to be in control. Without them, it's like driving without being able to see the road, maybe you get to your destination, maybe you don't.

hard to tell from that pic....i'd focus on my diet and setting up a training split with cardio days to start seeing a change in your body.
