HGF109

If at all possible, I'd love some replies and input as to my current situation. About 2 months ago I was with a buddy of mine at publix and we wayed ourselves on that big scale they have. He's a muscle monster (just got back from army boot camp about 2 months before this, but has always been a beast) and I was within a few pounds of him . . . Not even being 50% as muscular as he is, I knew this was a bad thing as we are the same age and same height. At that point I'd pretty much been eating crap (burger king, taco bell, etc) almost nightly for the past year or so (when I was working out before and stayed away from it) I also noticed my chest getting saggy and being a guy, i didnt want this lol . . . so I started eating healthier and working out out pretty frequently (butterfly/bench press, curls, crunches, rocky sit-ups, pushups, occasional pull-ups) . . . my father has been on and off atkins over the past few years and I've watched him lose a good 20+ pounds before . . probably 30 (he read the book throughly tho and was an avid follower) so I figured I could live with a variation of that (not so strict tho) cuz I really am a big eater and small meals leave me energyless lol, i'd almost prefer a huge salad as long as it fills me up to a small portion of something more tasty, or 2 steaks or some chicken breasts for dinner as opposed to a smaller meal eaten out or something . . so from that day I quit fast food cold turkey and pretty much have been eating casaer salads, steak, chicken breasts, and burgers (with no bread of course) from home on the barbecue for the past few months . . . the only eating out I've really done is barbecue restraunts, pork and stuff like that . . I haven't gone nuts tho, which I've heard is bad . . . about 3-4 times I've been in restraunts in the past 2 months and ate normal (pizza, sandwhich, chicken parmesan, and a sandwhich and fries once) . . . i've also cut out all soda and have stuck to mostly water, diet soda, ice tea, and gatorade/powerade form the machines at the gym on occasion) . . .which i'm fine with . . . . I have lost weight . . . I'm 19 years old, 5`8-ish and when I started I was 180+ pounds . . . now I'm around 165 and I have been told I look thinner (I was never "Fat" but definitely had some there under the shirt, lol) and my upper body has increased some muscle and I see a little definition in my stomach, altho I still got a little stomach to lose . . . . this has more or less been my appraoch . . . i tried the Stacker 2 Ephedra free suppliments once in awile, never saw anything great about them tho . . .

I'm wondering what i can do from here to lose a little more fat and become more defined . . .and if I should alter my diet further . . .

all input appreciated . . .
