Ya, you're still fixated on the fact that you're definitely going to cut after the 20 lbs. Why? Why would you want to be at the lowest end of the healthy weight range?

well if i can find a way to hold out untill March I can get ym full driver's license and be able to drive down to the gym , besides me and bikes don't mix lol (haven't rode one in 7 years)
But untill then I'm gonna work out with this guy, his wife works at our restaurant and he's trying to lose some weight (he's 262 lbs) so I gave him a rough outline course of a diet and exercise, and he has a garage FULL of weights, it's insane how much he has, and intially he wanted me to work out with me so as long as he can drive me down to his house every morning I got myself some weights
lol I always thought if you weren't sore then it's not working too well

If you can wait until your circumstances change. then it is ok to hold out for a while. Investing in your equipment can be bit much, unless you are rich

Good idea to give the weights a try with your friend/coworker. I train alone and prefer that. But most like a training partner. So long as both of you train more than you talk, you should be ok.

Dosent your school have a gym? if not when you go to college, the campus might have one. So you may want to hold off buying weights for now. Also keeping the info from Emma-Leigh about a home gym in mind.

And dont get fixated on 'loosing' at present. set your goal/mind on 'gaining'.

As soon as I can find a booklet I'm gonna start reading it and get my mom to sign me up for driver's ED, found out I only need to be 15 1/2 with my parents signiture to get my beginers.
I persoanlly like wrokign out by myself too, with some music going so hopefully the guy won't want to dive me to his house at 5:30am then back after were done and then still go to work, so I'll buy some equipment from him (I forgot that he's go tons of shit, like 8 barbells, 10 dumbbells, 2 benches, a Bowflex TONS of weights etc.) and he'll probably give me a good deal.
Also my school's gym sucks ass and the day after I gradate I'm leaving this shit ass town so hopefully they'll have a good gym at the college I go too.
The reason I'mhelping this guy lose weight is because he's really sepressed about his weight, he's tried everything he knows, the lowest he ever got down to was 208 pounds, but he hit a plateau for a month and just quit, so I know how it feels to be depressed about your body, so as long as he's got the dedication to work his ass off I'll help him out.

You should focus on yoru own health and well being before training someone else...it's like...taking a dose of your own medicine (i think that' the cliche i'm looking for)

It's a good thing I did help him, because of it I got a bench, 2 dumbells, 170 pounds in weights and a barbell for $60
Besides I like having another person i can talk to about that crap without them telling me I'm crazy or slapping me for telling them how many calories are in that brownie their eating
first wekk went well for him he lost 4 pounds (probablt some water), so if by the end of his second week if he losese another 4 pounds will increase the calories lol
