I'm not big on intros so I will try to keep it short 
I've struggled with my weight most of my life, I managed to go from 172lbs to 143lbs within 5 months(summer of 01) just by eating less and better. In december of 01 I got interested in resistance training again(used to do it in college), did a body-for-life challenge and have now progressed to being a gym rat. My goals are to lose bodyfat and gain muscle mass and learn how I can best achieve this. My struggling point like a lot of people seems to be my diet. Don't know if I'm eating enough, too much or enough of the right things to achieve my goals.
