getting into shape

[Adm. Empoleon]

so i weigh about 90 KG, and i want to slim down to about 70 KG. thing is, i don't want to just lose fat, i want to gain muscle as well, but i've heard that lifting weights will stop your bone growth or something.
so what do you think i should do to achieve my goal?
I apologize if i came across as a noob.

I'd recommend this thread for advice.

No, lifiting weights doesn't stop your growth, only in the case where you lift something that is well beyond your capability. I lift 75 kg and do about 20-30 reps every few days and I been growing even faster than usual. Just don't start with something to heavy at first.

bodybuilding.com in conjunction with the fitness thread here.

use ALL the resources you can and don't believe a single word unless you know facts.


Scour the internet for everything and anything. Learn what makes sense to you and don't overload yourself.

I just passed halfway through the P90x program. Want to lose weight? DO THAT. Enough said.

How long did it take you to complete half of it, what was your start to present weight?

The problem is that losing fat and gaining muscles are generally mutually exclusive goals. It can be done though.

I'm guessing 3 and 4 don't apply to you. If 1 or 2 applies to you, then definitely start lifting weights. That website in particular has a ton of information that'll help you out
