Thank you for your input killa, Great Advice!!!

Hand to Heart - Honest Truth
I've always had a fast metabolism, but always had a little gutt. The past year, I've seen myself shred my belly completely and actually have very nice abs.
What's the secret imho?
Working out is great, but if you're like me it gets boring after a while. So don't stop working out, I didn't, but I know now that I don't need to workout as hard.

stop eating bad foods all together, hot chips and sh&t like that will do you no good, and if you are worried about having energy eat a power bar, Paulsy is full of shit, no wife loves a beer belly unless she has one herself, sprinting and jogging, if they say so , me I keep my gut tight with crunchies, and squat thrusters a exercise I learned in the Army, try burning more calories than you put in your mouth. lol

"and if you are worried about having energy eat a power bar"
There's a lot of Carbs in those.
I've been eating alot of steamed green vegetables & fish this week. Been making fruit smoothies i've blended myself (strawberries, watermelon, pairs, banana with soy milk and a bit of syrup & also Avocado shakes). Cut down on white rice. Today i bbq'd Prawns and ate it with steamed corn, peas and carrots but fried 4 nuggets with it (i craved some oily foods and it was str8 after basketball so i thought i would reward myself a little instead of denying my body which some say is bad for you).
Today i made a $50 bet with a friend that we were not to eat fast foods/take out for a month starting from tomorrow. Really gotta start practicing a good healthy diet untill it's a natural part of my lifestyle.

drink lots of cold water the colder the better.. it helps break down fatty tissue.. by the way i also seen this study on tv that says once you have fats cells if they get to big the break into more fat cells if they get too big the break into more and so on and so forth.. well you can lose the weight but the fat cells will still remain so it is harder to keep the weight off if you have been over weight for sometime.. so bascially make sure u eat healthy stay away from aspartame and drink lots of cold water my friend keep up the workouts.
also make sure to change your workout rutein because your muscles get used to the workout and then you get no results due to the body being used to doing that sorta workout..
soon u will abs of steel

what exactly is refined carbs? does it just mean processed food? i know bad carbs include white flour, refined sugar and rice but dont exactly know what 'refined carbs' are. Could you elaborate for me?
My work outs include shooting around my local basket crt which includes some jogging around the crt. I lift light weights repetively several times during the week. I do push ups and some other form of exercise where i use my own weight. and i walk/jog/run on the treadmill for 30 mins each time. I hope all these can be regarded as cardio.

Definition: Foods which have been processed by machinery that strips the bran and germ from the whole grain.
The process gives foods a finer texture and prolongs shelf life, but it
also removes important nutrients, such as B vitamins, fiber, and iron.
Also Known As: refined carbs, refined sugars
Examples: White rice and pasta made with white flour are examples of refined carbohydrates.

The Good Protein Chart
Protein can help you shed those unwanted pounds and keep your belly full. But it's important to eat the right amount and the right kind of protein to get the health benefits.
Fish & Seafood
Seafood is one of the best sources of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.
White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.
Milk, Cheese Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods excellent sources of protein but they also contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis and enhance weight loss.
Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day.
Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as 3 ounces of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.
Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.
Soy
Twenty five grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy protein foods like tofu with a healthy low fat diet.
Lean Beef
Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron and vitamin B12.
Protein on the Go
Grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar or energy bar. Check the label to be sure the product contains at least 6 grams of protein, and is low in sugar and fat.

I tried the "300 workout" this week. I thought I was going to absolutely die. It's hard to believe one of the actors did this in 18 min with no rest. It took me about 40 min. and I had to take lots of breaks.
an article about the 300 workout
Here's the exercises:
-25 pullups
-50 deadlifts (135 pounds)
-50 pushups
-50 24-inch box jumps
-50 floor wipers (basically benchpressing 135 pounds, but holding the weight in the air while you swing your legs up and down, while not touching the floor. The ultimate Ab workout.)
-50 single arm clean-and-press with 36 pound kettlebells
-25 pull-ups
-50 deadlifts (135 pounds)
-50 pushups
-50 24-inch box jumps

man, im too busy gambling and boozing to lose my gut. I did switch to Light beer (was drinking the wonderful Dos Equis Amber), I rarely eat fast food(maybe once a month) and i never drink soft drinks (iced tea and water only with the occasional lite beer). I don't exercise nearly enough. I occasionally walk my dogs a mile and a half. I was working out (weights, cardio) but broke up with my girlfriend and got into a funk.
One question I have: At my gym I would lift weights THEN go do cardio (stationary bikes). My question is: Is it better to do cardio first then weights? I'm thinking it is.

It don't think it matters. If you do the cardio intense you will probably be too spent to do weights though.
What's trendy now is the P90X routines where you basically do high intensity pushups/pullups which also gives you cardio.
Sorry about the girlfriend. But now is the best time of year to get in shape though. Pool season almost here and when football season hits, everybody will be back to drinking again.

I also tried that South Beach diet about 5 years ago. It worked and I lost weight, but I felt stranggggeeeee. It was weird. I think my body was adapting to the transition I was forcing it. I was having cravings for sweets, yet before, I never really had a sweet tooth. I tried it for about 6-8 weeks and shed some pounds. The hardest part was no booze the first 2 weeks. I think I broke that rule once or twice.
