Hi gymrats, like a lot of people, my New Year's resolution is to lose some weight and get in shape. I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I'm 5'6" and 182 lbs. I'd like to get down to 150 and then see where to go from there. I've read the community info but I still have a lot of questions

Uhhh, assuming you're not trolling us, read the community info and visit the links therein. It was written for a good reason. It should answer your first 4 questions.

Eating clean means not eating crap (cookies, chips, anything fried, white grains, processed starches). If it comes straight from the ground or the animal, it's generally not too bad. Beware of things in packages. Use FitDay or another tracking tool to help you determine how many calories are in common foods and track your intake. Good luck! Also, read the community info.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Miss Snow here before. Don't let her Snow you!

Sorry I forgot about that one. You guys were mean then too.

You are so right, I should have checked before replying... mea culpa! There's always a New Years fitness troll in every community...

I used a fake account because I'm embarrassed. You all have been working out for years and probably look like fitness models and I have a long way to go. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Oh I'm being judgmental because I asked a few questions and everybody was an asshole. Fuck you. Enjoy your steroids.

Thank you for not being mean. I appreciate the information.
