From Brandon, Age 16

Ht. 5'8", Start: 223 lb, Today: 223 lb, Goal: 180 lb - Heyy. My name is Brandon and I'm looking to lose 40-50 lbs starting this Monday by the time school starts next year (September). Today I stepped on the scales for the first time in a long time and I was pretty shocked. I was guessing around 205-210, but 223 was a shocker for me. Anyway, I'm pretty muscular. 223 may seem like 190, but I still want to lose a lot of weight. Is 40-50 lbs possible in 3-4 months? I plan on cutting out carbs and begin to count calories. I also plan to get back into weight lifting which I haven't did in a year. I have a weight bench, treadmill, and stationary bike at my house. I also live in the country on a farm which means I can do a lot of heavy work too. I plan on working out 2 hours a day this summer, along with being outside ALL day long except for meals of course. I plan on starting out at an hour of exercise until schools out, just to get my body used to exercise. I just need some help getting everything straight. Food wise, what do I need to eat? I love fruit. Like I said, I plan on cutting out carbs and also counting calories. Exercise wise, is there any good plans? I plan on doing the Couch to 5k plan this summer along with a lot of walking at 3mph on the treadmill. Is that too fast? I'm not sure for walking. Sometimes I find myself with my hands on the bars, but it's not like they're holding me up and I'm in need for support from them. Anyway, I'm going on and on. I just need some answers to my questions, and possibly a weight loss buddy? Drop your email if you're interested, it'd be cool if you had Windows Live (MSN) Messenger. Thanks in advance.
